Solaris 8 on Toshiba 8200 install problem

Has anyone tried to install Solaris 8 on a Toshiba 8200? I have set the CDRom drive as a bootable device but the install does not start, just a flashing cursor on the screen. I have tested the CD in another computer and all is ok. I do not have a USB floppy disk drive so cannot try the floppy disk boot option.
Is there a URL available for a WEB based install?

I would send a request to Technical for Toshiba on their help page at
<a href="http://www.toshiba.com>Toshiba</a>
They should be more knowledgeable about specific platform issues. Also go to the HCL documentation to look up EQ

Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 Install problem

When I boot with the Install CD (Solaris 8 Software 1/2),
in the next screen of install:
Select the type of instllation you want yo perform:
1 Solaris Interactive
2 Custom Jumpstart
After selecting one of the two options it appears the next error:
Booting kernel/unix...
do_relocate: bad strndx 3275
do_relocations:/kernel/genunix do_relocated failed
Krtld:error during initial bad/link phase
P.D Im using the Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 booting from CD.
In fact, If I use the Solaris 8 Installation CD theres is no problem on booting the kernel from the CD.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Kalpesh - do you work in support? Most users don't have the luxury
of spare media or systems to experiment with:-)
Perhaps the original poster could tell us the exact HW config so
others can offer suggestions?

Solars 10 x86 1/06 install problem - empty bootloader

Hi,
I'm trying to install 1/06 on a noname AMD X2, on a SATA disk. Had the previous version installed without problems, but 1/06 wouldn't show any options in GRUB. After booting from DVD, GRUB shows me the version number, no options to choose from, and the GRUB prompt. Tried on different machines the same on all.
Any help would really be appreciated.
cheers

Looks like Solaris 10 x86 1/06 GA has got an issue with GRUB. I've downloaded Solaris Express (nv-b27a) CD-isos, now GRUB & the installation are working fine. Just wondering if I was the only one having this issue (as I've tested it on 3 different machines and on VPC it most likely wasn't a HW-issue).

Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.

Solaris 8 4/01 Intel Instalation/Boot Problems

I am TRYING to install the Solaris 8 for Intel and i am having several problems.
I managed to solve some of them but now i am stuck.
I am running a PII with a an Adapetc 2940 and a scsi disk.
I am using interactive instalation one software cd 1.
I am creating 2 partions one X86 boot with 10 Mb and another one of solaris type with 8500 Mb.
in the second one i created a slice for root and another one for swap.
The problem is after all the instalation completes the system wont boot !
Any ideia why ?
I created a dos boot partion and it boots fine.
How can i create a boot disk ?
How can access the file system a just created to check ?
How can i rewrite the mbr ?
I am using one disk and for solaris only, am i creating the right partion schema ?
Please help.
Thanks in Advance,
Pedro Oliveira

Howdy,
I am please to see someone with ethics responding to some basic questions of a solaris install problem on an intel platform. I have been working with solaris on sparc for a while, not I am trying the Intel side of the house.
I am having a similar problem as you mentioned. I have a Compaq Deskpro system with an IDE 2gb disk to install Solaris 8 4/01 on. I get all the way through the instructions to #27 on the DOC CD to the reboot of the system and the pulling out of the Installation CD. It tells me that I will need to wait for the system to reset then pull out the CD before the sytem completes its Memory test and HW detection.
I think I am removing the CD when this is being done, but the only thing I am seeing is a compaq logo and an hourglass forever....the screen seems to hang there forever.
Should I leave the installation CD in the drive longer?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Solaris 10 install problem (requested image to big to fit into memory)

I have just downloaded the iso images and burned to disk. When I go to install I get the message (Requested image to big to fit into memory Error 28) I have 1.5GB so I don't understand the problem. Thanks in advance
It took a long time for me to figure out, but the answer is disable in BIOS memory hole at 15M to 16M. This solved the install problem with Open Solaris and quite a few more such as not being able to install Linux Zenwalk 5.0 or openSUSE 10.3. Their are others also problems I have had with Linux or UNIX that this took care of. JGZ
Edited by: jgz on Mar 8, 2008 9:13 PM

Hi,
I had been able to solve the Error 28 issue that in my case was really related to a corrupted boot image:
1. I went in the path /a/platform/i86pc
2. rm boot_archive.
3. sync
4. reboot
At this point the OS will notice the absence of the boot_image and it will regenerate it.
At the time of this operation the CD with solaris 10 was inserted in the CDROM.
When the system restarted it was able to load the OS properly.
Please use these information at your own risk. I do not accept any liablity.
Cheers

Solaris 7 on Toshiba 8100 notebook ?

Hi,
Has anyone has the experience of installing solaris 7 on Toshiba 8100 laptop? or knows anywhere can download the driver for that model? My problem is solaris always say unknow monitor type when installing and I can not find the monitor type from the existing monitor list.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I have Toshiba Tecra 8100 with RedHat 6.2 installed.
I wouldn't try to get Solaris 7-8 running there though.
Toshiba Tecra 8100 has an S3 Savage MX / 8Mb card
(a crapy one, ATI were much better in 8000 series)
You don't have to run X Windows in installation just
run install in text mode (which is avialable).
After install completed, go to -s mode and remove /etc/rc3.d/S9?dtlogin. You'll have a working Solaris at
that point.
Then you have 2 options: first get XFree86 running
and grab configs from Linux on Laptops page for
S3 Savage MX; second option is to purchase Accelerated X
server for Solaris from www.xig.com (150$). They support
S3 Savage. (I personaly would go with Accelerated X option).

Hard coded links in R12.1.1 SOLARIS 10 64 bit Rapid Install stack

Hi,
Just a heads up for anyone using the Solaris 10 64 bit Rapid Install.
I am doing a 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade on Solaris 10 64-bit.
On my Rapid Install delivered R12.1.1 tech stack there are some hard coded links to Oracle test server files in the 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 lib32 directories. Which is not a good thing - it stops little things like adpatch working!
e.g.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
$ ls -l ldflags
$ lrwxrwxrwx 1 appdugc dba 56 Feb 4 16:21 ldflags -> */d4/R12/ab/apps/R1211XB9/*apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/ldflags
This leads to libclntsh.so not being generated and errors like this when running adpatch:
ld.so.1: adpatch: fatal: /*/*/*/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Killed
The fix is to recreate the soft links to point to the correct local mount points/paths
How on earth did that slip through?
I raised an SR on this issue and got no where at all. I only got to the bottom of it when I noticed the /d4/R12 path and googled that. I then found Vikram's article at http://oracleappstechnology.blogspot.com/2009/09/r1211-apache-wont-start.html and realised that it was the cause of my problems too.

HP netraid / AMI elite 1600 (mega) Install Problem

The problem is when installing solaris 8 (10/00), After installing the "drivers" for the NetRaid, and all the other devices, and also setting the boot device. It starts to boot the Kernel, then and outputs
"NOTICE: MegaRAID: 1 logical Drive(s) found"
and then locks up completely, But gives no error messages.
This is when i boot from the CD 1(software/binary cd1), if i boot from the Install CD the only difference is
"WARNING: MegaRAID: 1 logical Drive(s) found"
and then it locks up.

Laptop Toshiba Satellite 3000 - problem graphic device

Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 on Toshiba Satellite 3000, but it was able to install resolution 640x480/60Hz only. How can change it to higher resolution?

Look into the kdmconfig command, if you're talking about the GUI that is. Solaris has a nasty habbit that if you configure XSun during the installation it'll "drop back" to the X.org server. kdmconfig can change that again if desired.

OS 9 Install problem on imac G3

hello all,
i have an OS install problem on my imac . I just finished formatting the drive . the drive is
paritioned :
1st partition = HD1: 5.5 Gb
2nd partition = HD2 : 2.5 Gb
3rd partition = HD3 : 110+ Gb
Then, in order to save some time ( i thought ) , i tried directly install os 9 from an imac
DV CD , on HD1 : i thought i d be quicker so i would have to start with os 8.5 then upgrade to 8.6 and etc .
that turned out to be a bad idea. the system install warned me it couldnt install Air port because the hardware wasnt compatible . it gave me two options : either ignore this message or quit . i chose ignore : again certainly a bad choice .
After the install was finished , the mac wouldnt start on HD1 . the sytem install is apparently incomplete ,or anycase it doesnt work .
i then installed os 8.5 from original imac tray load install CD on HD2 , and it works fine .
now the question is : what should i do with my bad os9 system ? i need an operating system on this partition. perhaps i can trash it and reinstall mac os8.5 on it ? i hope there is a way to get out of this without formatting the drive again .
thanks for any advice .

about the os9 CD : it is a retail verson , only not of the same imac model .
That is not a retail version of OS 9. A retail version of OS 9 has no dependencies on any model of Mac. You have a machine specific disc which probably won't work with your iMac.
1/ i dont know how to reformat a partition without formatting the entire drive . perhaps you can explain .
In OS X you use Disk Utility and only select the partition that you want to reformat. It has been ages since I used OS 8 so I'm not sure if it is even possible using "Drive Setup".

Nano install problems. Works on USB 1.1!

Twelve months ago I went through the getting an IPOD to install properly problems with my son's IPOD, on his all singing all dancing new PC. Only finally resolved this by installing via the firewire port rather than USB. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I recently got a Nano for my wife's birthday, but hey I thought someone like Apple would have got their act together in the interim and installing should be straight forward. Have they? NO! Tried installing the Nano on my aging Pentium III which has a USB 2.0 PCI card, and for which all other devices plugged into it worked OK. Couldn't even get Windows to properly recognise it "A problem occurred during harware install your device may not be working properly". Tried Apple's suggestions and other users suggestions all to no avail. Firewire install option is not a possibility with Nano, but finally thought why not try one of the USB 1.1 ports on my aging computer, and guess what it installed first time and works without any problems. Transfer rate is not to bad either 850 songs in 1hr 10min. The only slightly different thing I did (which some other users also say) is not to re-boot the computer at the end of installation when it prompts you to and start using Itunes straight away and do some downloading then re-boot later.
Not much comfort to users with newer PC's but if you have an older computer with a USB 1.1 port and have install problems, try it as it may work for you as well.
Like every one else with install problems on PC's I say "come on Apple" individually or together with Microsoft please get this sorted out. My view of Apple was that they have great products (still true) that are easy to use (still true) and install without problems (patently not true).
Pentium III 800 Windows XP

Gosh, I have tried this many times. Over several days. I have also reset the shuffle, which as far as I can tell, consists of turning it on and then off.
Last night, it started updating the music via the keyboard USB 1.1, which I know takes forever. Then it lost communications and quit.
