Solaris 8 Intel scan hangs on Windows Sound System Compatable

I am trying to install Solaris on a Anigma Pentium II motherboard with integrated AGP/Audio/DVD, plextor CDRW, 40 gig maxtor ide hd new, unpartioned.....
when the sytem scans it keeps hanging on either "Windows Sound System Compatable" or "ADS Sound Blaster....I do not have a soundblaster card in this machine, it is on board sound......
cous anyone please point me in the right direction......I am new to Solaris, please help me get this installed.....
thanks, michael

Just an idea:
After installing the latest kernel + usb patches a system built around
an ASUS P2B showed similar behaviour: Soon after the screen is
cleared during the boot sequence the machine hung. Before installing
these patches the machine was running without problem.
The problem was a disabled USB IRQ in the bios setup. The system has
no USB peripherals connected, so the USB IRQ was disabled in the
BIOS (in an
attempt to free some IRQs - which is actually nonsense in a PCI
system; some old habit from good old ISA PCs). Re-enabling the
USB IRQ in the BIOS fixed the solaris boot problem. Probably the
solaris 8 USB drivers had detected the USB bus and started scanning
for devices there; and that hung the machine due to non working USB controller IRQs.
Maybe you have a similar problem...

    YESSSSSSS!! Finally a version of iTunes (12.0.1.26) that actually works flawlessly on Windows 7 operating system. YIPEE. Thankyou so much Apple, although it's about time too!!

    Hello FrankCLaur,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I do not like being the messenger for bad news, but regrettably there is no software or drivers for the S20 scanner for Windows 8.1. The last software that is available, is for Windows XP.
    Have you tried plugging the scanner directly to your computer, and does the computer recognize the scanner?

  • BOSE SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

    My Fios STB is having trouble communicating with my Bose system.
    The Bose says it is not getting a video signal (from STB).
    If I unplug the HDMI and plug it back in, then I get a signal.
    After 3 service calls and many hours wasted with this issue, I still have not figured it out.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
    My Direct TV system had no problems.  I miss Direct...

    Your having an HDMI sync issue. This is a common problem for any devices using HDMI regardless of what kind of product or service it is. Most devices can be hooked up fine together, but other particular pairings can cause sync issues. They vary in levels of severity and frequency.  Its the unique pairing of the BOSE system to the Motorolla STB thats causing this to happen. Alot of these sync issues are minimized with the newer versions of device firmware. Our boxes are constantly being updated and have software downloaded to it automatically from time to time. Your BOSE , unless you upgraded since then, still has the factory software. Check with BOSE Tech support to see if the BOSE system firmware can be upgraded and go through the process.

    Are you trying to install Solaris 9 onto a server that is already running Windows XP and to keep Windows XP too?
    You'll need to create a partition on which to install Solaris, - search for Solaris Windows Dual Boot on docs.sun.com for more information.

  • Solaris 8 (Intel) Crash & Burn

    Having troubles installing Solaris 8 (Intel Platform) on a Gateway PC (PIII 733 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB HD). Seems no matter what I do, using web start or using interactive install, the screen goes all white and the system hangs just after the following information is displayed during the boot process:
    SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic-xxxxxxx 32-bit
    Copyright 1983-2000 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
    Then next thing displayed is a cursor flashing in the upper left corner of the screen with the entire screen being white. I never get the next line as indicated in the install docs ("Configuring /dev and /devices").
    I have tried using DOS fdisk to create a 24 MB partition set active and formatted. That seems to work fine to boot into DOS, but I can't seem to get past this part of the install.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

    Hi all,
    Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
    specific questions):
    I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
    I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
    My very specific questions:
    (1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
    partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
    but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
    (2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
    So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
    BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
    Thanks for the answers.

    (1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
    So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.

  • How do I create an Image of my Solaris 10 (Intel) server?

    I'm currently running Solaris 10 (Intel) on a Dell PowerEdge 2650. I'd like to create an Image of the server now that I have all the extra software installed and configured correctly.
    I used Symantec Ghost for my Window based servers, does anyone have any suggestions for the best method/software to do the same for my Solaris servers? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Using dd is about the most hideous thing to do since restoring the data will cause you much grief. The best approach would be to use the 'ufsdump' command. You can easily dump your slices into files, and perform either full or interactive restores.
    Better yet; whenever you get a bigger disk you won't be wasting space (or risk corrupting data) through the use of dd. Next to data the dd command would also restore the partition table, boot sector, etc. And thats not very good if the disks differ too much.

  • Interval Timing Issue On Solaris 10/Intel

    Not sure this is the right forum for this, but I'll give it a shot. Please redirect me if you think there's a better forum. This is going to look like a "C" problem, but this really is a question about something going on in the interactions between the operating system, the JVM, and a piece of native code we have.
    We have an interval timing facility that's implemented over a small set of platform-dependent native timing facilities. The *NIX "itimer" facility is used wherever it exists.  On RedHat/Fedora we also implement a timer over the RTC device.  On Windows we use a WaitableTimer.
    On all platforms there's a Java class that bridges to an appropriate timing facility via the JNI, and to date this has worked great on all platforms except for Solaris 10 on Intel. By "worked great" I mean that the clock tics end up being almost exactly what we expect for a given configured Hz update rate. So... e.g. if we set up a timer for 50 Hz, then we actually get 50 Hz +/- some minor variation much less than 1 second.
    On Solaris 10/Intel we set up a 50 Hz itimer in a plain-vanilla C app and we get ~50 Hz, but if we call the same C code from Java via the JNI we almost always end up with ~38Hz.
    The amount of Java and native code involved is almost trivial, and the hardware is a smoking fast contemporary PC. We ran over the itimer facility on an old Sparc 5 box and it worked fine.
    I've tried tweeking sundry esoteric -X and -XX JVM invocation options with no effect.
    J2SDK 1.4.2-07 in all cases.
    Thoughts?

    I'd think you should be posting in the forum for the Solaris 10 os, not a Java forum. Maybe someone in the Java Native Methods forum would have the necessary Solaris 10 expertise, also.
    If you do post elsewhere, either close this out with a final post or put a reference(s) to any other posts and say where you want replies posted, so replies aren't needlessly duplicated.

    I don't think you will have many problems in this platform, but I'm not 100% sure.
    What I recommend you is to get the VMWare and try there. VMWare is a software where you can create a virtual machine running under windows. In this virtual machine you could install solaris 10 (and any other OS you want to test in your computer). I have my Solaris 10 running under VMWare with excellent results (Laptop with Intel Celeron processor)... where I have VMWare installed in Windows!

  • Solaris 8 Intel Installation Error: No suitable hard drives found

    HI!
    I was trying to install the free Solaris 8 Intel Edition from CD. All devices were recognized. Afterwards, however, I get the message that no suitable place was found to store the installation image. What should a hard disk look like in order to qualify for Solaris?
    My system contains several hard drives. The first one, were I would like to install Solaris, is empty without any partitions. Under normal cicumstances (Linux, Windows), I would assume that this is the best possible case for a new operationg system...
    Best regards
    Klaus

    Klaus,
    I am having the exact same problem as you. I have the official Solaris CDs from Sun, but am not able to install Solaris on my PC. Installation progresses quite far - including screen, keyboard, time configuration - but then fails saying that it can't find any suitable HDDs.
    I too, have two HDDs, one with Windows XP on it, and the other completely blank. However the Solaris installation does not recognise either of them.
    I've even tried dis-connecting the Windows HDD in case it may have interfered somehow, but it has no affect.
    Please see me message titled 'Intel Installation - Identifying HDDs' which I posted on this forum on 10th November. I haven't received any help on this issue.
    Where do we go from here?

  • Solaris 8 Intel - Licence question

    Hi there,
    My name is Long Phan from Australia. I recently got Sun Solaris 8 from SUN (USA) binary free licence (?!). I tried to install following things:
    * Install SUN OS (Intel) - OK!
    * Applied Security & Patches - OK!
    * Setup SAMBA - OK!
    * Setup Webmin - OK!
    * Setup DNS - OK!
    then when I tried to setup WEB (ver 2.0.40) after reboot. I CAN'T:
    * ping
    * nslookup
    * Surf the AnswerBook2
    * Share files (SAMBA) from my Windows pc
    I tried to re-install couple of times but I GOT the same problem. Please anybody helps me with this; I have following questions:
    * Do I need any licence for my SUN Solaris 8 (Intel) before I can setup anything else?
    * If I do then where I can get it?
    * If it's not the case then what did I do wrong?? I can ping, copy files from Windows (SAMBA), surf the AnswerBook 2 from my Windows, nslookup zone BUT when reboot I CAN'T DO anything (ping, nslookup, suft the AnswerBook 2)
    Please helps & thanks

    Hi!
    I also had the same exact problem during the install. The only way that I could procede was to tell it that I didn't want to install networking. Now when I boot, it tries to load the elx0 driver (for my 3Com 3c509b) and brings the following message, "SIOCSLIFFFLAGS cannot assigm requested address." I have checked the Irq/IO setting in the hardware configuration agent and everything seems to be correct. To top it all off, once I logon if I enter "ifconfig elx0 192.168.1.2 up" then everything works fine. I tried to forceload the elx0 module in /etc/system to see if the module just wasn't loaded early enough but this did not help. Any ideas of what else I should check?
    TIA

  • Solaris 8 (Intel) Installation problems

    I have not been successful to install Solaris 8 (Intel version).I am
    installing from the (Install CD) and I get to the Solaris Boot screen that
    says:
    Select one of the identified devices to boot the Solaris Kernel and
    choose F2 to continue. Solaris identifies 2 IDE Disk Drives (on Primary Controller),
    a third IDE HDD (Secondary master) and the CD ROM as a slave on the Secondary
    Controller. When I choose the CD ROM as the Boot disk, the system hangs
    forever!. Any suggestions?
    P.S: The installation CD contains the following:
    image = 550MB
    (.VOLUME) : 47 bytes
    ADD_INSTALL_CLIENT: 54.5KB
    BOOT: 0 bytes
    COPYRIGHT: 5.3KB
    MODIFY_INSTALL_SERVER = 3.37KB
    The total of these files is : 93KB
    Dose this seem correct, having in mind that the image file is 550MB
    Thanks,

    At the "(b)oot or (i)nterpreter" prompt, type:
    b kadb -v
    This loads the Solaris kernel under kernel debugger (kadb) control.
    Apparently your system crashes with a kernel panic, and when kadb
    is loaded, kadb will catch the kernel panic error and drop you into the
    debugger so that you can read the panic messages.
    The "-v" option enables verbose kernel messages, which might be
    useful to diagnose the problem.
