Hi All,
I've downloaded the SUNWips_nv driver from the project page, and I've
recreated the x86.miniroot that is being used to network install
sNV_b91. I used 'pkgadd -d . -R /mnt SUNWips' and I verified that
/mnt/etc/driver_aliases, /mnt/etc/driver_classes, and
/mnt/etc/name_to_major all got updated.
When I boot this new miniroot though a few things happen:
1) I see the following warnings from the kernel:
SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_91 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
WARNING: Last shutdown is later than time on time-of-day chip; check date.
Configuring /dev
WARNING: mutex_init: d1089552 is not 4 byte aligned; caller
ips_attach+3ad in module ips. This is unsupported and may cause a panic.
Please report this to the kernel module supplier.
WARNING: mutex_init: d108955a is not 4 byte aligned; caller
ips_attach+3de in module ips. This is unsupported and may cause a panic.
Please report this to the kernel module supplier.
WARNING: mutex_init: d108965e is not 4 byte aligned; caller
ips_attach+40f in module ips. This is unsupported and may cause a panic.
Please report this to the kernel module supplier.
Are these a sign of real problems? Is sNV_b91 too new for this driver?
2) Next I select 'Single user shell' from the following menu, and the
system basically hangs itself up.
1. Solaris Interactive (default)
2. Custom JumpStart
3. Solaris Interactive Text (Desktop session)
4. Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)
5. Apply driver updates
6. Single user shell
Enter the number of your choice.
Selected: 6
Single user shell
Searching for installed OS instances...
I've tried #1 and #4 also and it hangs on those too. I've booted with
-kd, and dropped to the debugger. ::ptree shows that it's hung up in
either 'install-discovery' (#1 and #4) or 'install-recovery' (#6).
Any ideas? Is this driver just not ready yet?
-Kyle
