Solaris8 Intel able to recognize 7GB out of 40GB

Installed Solaris 8 (Intel) on HP Pavilion 9600 system with 384 MB RAM
and 40GB IDE Hard disk drive. Install program was able to recognize only
6.5GB. My BIOS configuration shows LBA Mode(I tried CHS also).
I installed Solaris 8 and it is working fine with 6.5GB.
LINUX 6.1 was able to recognize all 40GB. Am I doing anything wrong?
I would like to use atleast 20GB for Solaris8 and remaining 20GB for FAT32.
Any suggestions? Thank You in advance.

Ok, I got it to work I think, with help from the workaround for
solaris 7 at http://sun.drydog.com/faq/ (question 5.8)
I looked at the western digital web site and found the drive has
87,930,864 sectors. You have to define the geometry as if it
had 16383 cylinders. 87,930,864 / 16383 = 5367 sectors/cylinder.
<pre>
I made a geometry file called 'geometry':
* Label geometry for device /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0
* PCYL NCYL ACYL BCYL NHEAD NSECT SECSIZ
16383 16383 2 0 1 5367 512
# fdisk -S geometry -I /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0
# format
(choose drive, set up partitions, etc)
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s7
</pre>
etc...
it seemed to work. Note I'm not using this as a boot drive,
just as a secondary drive so booting off the disk wasn't tested.
I also updated the bios on my abit BP6 motherboard because they
had changes for disks > 32gb, but maybe that doesn't matter if
you're not booting off the drive.
hope this helps. Maybe you can post here if it does or doesn't.

    I recall reading a post somewhere abt that particular user being able to install "9i for Sun Sparc" on solaris-intel without any problem. I was interested in finding out if i should give it a shot myself and if there is anything to watch out for.
    I have installed "8.1.7 for Sparc" on sol-intel with no problem.

    I turned on one of 'netflix' movies, it took awhile and the following messege popped up:

  • I am all of a sudden not able to send emails out from my outlook account on my iPhone.  Any suggestions?

    I am not able to send emails out from my outlook account on my iPhone 4s.  This feature has been working fine for 2 years and all of a sudden decided not to work.  I was able to receive emails but not send out.  I tried deleting the outlook account and recreating it but now I can't even recreate it.  It tells me it cannot verify my account information.  The interesting thing is that the account works fine on my PC, so I know my login info is correct.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    after installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
    Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
    If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
    Shut your mac down.
    Press the startup button.
    Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

  • Not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java soun

    Hi ,
    I need one help from your side.
    Here I am expecting some clarifications from you. Before that let you my environement.
    My working environment :
    Eclipse tool and added jmf jar to my project I did not do any thing more.
    If any thing I need to do just let me know. My target platform is MAC & UBUNTU.
    Please bare with my questions.
    1) I am not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java sound APIs on My system.
    ( I checked with the app mentioned in the http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/11201-jmf-cannot-connect-device.html )
    Do we need any administrives rights for our working PC.
    What is the procedure/ setup I need to follow from a java application to enable particular audio/video device since I dont about end-user system setup right.
    If possible send some sample code to recognize /r detect audio device ( voice input ). It should run on both MAC and UBUNTU.
    2) I run the one sample audio recording application of this link (http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioRecorder.java.html) which is provided by YOU.
    I got output audio file and able to hear voice on UBUNTU system but not able to hear voice on MAC system.
    I heared that default line in ( audio setup of the sys) is wont take any voice data on MAC.Why I made this stmt means we are getting false when using isSupported methods of JAVA SOUND API.
    ( like for TragetdataLine ...i,e, all ports are getting false)
    I have one sample audio recording app implemented by QUICKTIME API. In this case also he taking audio ftom device only using quicetime API.
    With that we are able to record and hear audio ( voice input --> not line in , external device we added some thing like SSB...)
    3) In case of Video capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PullBufferDataSource , PullBufferStream intefaces used.
    In case of Audio capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PushBufferDataSource, PushBufferStream intefaces used.
    Can you explain the reasons ? I gone through API but i am not clear.

  • TS1538 My iTunes, after a short time, decides not to be able to recognize my devices, the only thing that fixes it is a re-install of itunes. it is getting irritating as this will be the 7th time i have had to do it. Any solutions?

    My iTunes, after a short time, decides not to be able to recognize my devices, the only thing that fixes it is a re-install of itunes. it is getting irritating as this will be the 7th time i have had to do it. Any solutions?

    The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
    But check iTunes back ups:

    Mac

    Only your friend can unlock it, either by giving you his Apple ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - please see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    There is no way at all it can be unlocked without his doing this.

  • You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    With your playlist in "List view", click on the header over the column of numbers all the way to the left.  This will then reveal the true playback (and sync) order.
    However, the sort order in iTunes may not agree with the sort order on your device, but that is a separate issue and seems to have too many variables to go into here.
