[osol-discuss] ADSL modem support
This project will deliver some modules and a config tool to support ADSL modem on opensolaris, include ethernet and usb interface. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL, is a form of DSL, a data communication technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. ADSL can transmit up to 6 Mbps to a subscriber, and as much as 832 kbps or more in both directions. ADSL has transformed the existing public information network from one limited to voice, text and low resolution graphics to a powerful, ubiquitous system. ADSL is available in various speeds and pricing throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. There are emerging markets in the Caribbean and through out Latin America. China had hit its 42 millionth customer in 2005. ADSL is connecting our homes with the whole world. Now solaris just supports ADSL with ethernet interface, and we must extend sppptun to support USB ADSL modem. It involves some atm protocols and RFCs. It is our another target to develop an easy dialing tools for customers. Customers often complain that it is very difficult to set up an ADSL modem in solaris. This projects will develop a config tool to support popular dialing, such as modem, ADSL, mobile phones etc. Communities this project is related to: Drivers, Desktop, Laptop. This project would have a mailing list, adsl at opensolaris dot org. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

> * max supported hdd size ? --> (120GB) That was my next question. I didn't realise the onboard controller doesn't support UDMA though - that strikes me as a bit odd, considering it must have shipped with UDMA hard disks. I would be very interested in one of your magic cards. What sort of price did you have in mind? I've got a qfe (quad fast ethernet) card that came with the Ultra 10 if that's any use to you. ;-) Cheers Andrew.

But the installer doesn't support that for a number of good reasons, you are on your own. I disagree - quite strongly in fact. Actually I think the installer supports this reasonably well - not as well as it could but it is getting there - see below for more details. I recommend you cheaply getting a second hdd, if you are not too much Why solve with hardware what software can do very easily. The easiest way to do this is install 11/06 and live space for a second root slice (NOT as an fdisk partition but as a slice in the Solaris VTOC). Then use live upgrade to do an upgrade from 11/06 to SXCR. That way not only do you automatically share swap but your grub menu is updated as well to have entries for both. What would be nice is if live upgrade could do an initial install as well but it can't today. The alternative is to do it they way I did it which is to install one using in the interactive installer but leave a slice empty. Then boot the DVD/CD for the other and mark the root partition of the first one as preserve but don't give it a mount point. Using this method you need to manually update your grub menu in /boot/grub/menu.lst to have entries for both, attached is what I currently have on my machine - that has a single HDD and a since Solaris fdisk partition. The other thing to consider is where the user data is going, if it is all Solaris 10 u2 and later I'd recommend what ever of your disk is left after the root slices you need you put in a ZFS pool and put home and everything else on there. -- Darren J Moffat #pragma ident "@(#)menu.lst 1.1 05/09/01 SMI" # # default menu entry to boot default 0 # # menu timeout in second before default OS is booted # set to -1 to wait for user input timeout 10 # # To enable grub serial console to ttya uncomment the following lines # and comment out the splashimage line below # WARNING: don't enable grub serial console when BIOS console serial # redirection is active!!! # serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 # terminal serial # # Uncomment the following line to enable GRUB splashimage on console splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz # # To chainload another OS # # title Another OS # root (hd,) # chainloader +1 # # To chainload a Solaris release not based on grub # # title Solaris 9 # root (hd,) # chainloader +1 # makeactive # # To load a Solaris instance based on grub # # title Solaris # root (hd,,x) --x = Solaris root slice # kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot # module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive # # To override Solaris boot args (see kernel(1M)), console device and # properties set via eeprom(1M) edit the "kernel" line to: # # kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B prop1=val1,prop2=val2,... # #-- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT -- title snv_54+TX root (hd0,2,a) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive #-- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT -- title snv_54 root (hd0,2,f) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive #-END BOOTADM #-- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT -- title snv_53 root (hd0,2,d) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive #-END BOOTADM #-- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT -- title Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u3wos_10 X86 root (hd0,2,e) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive #-END BOOTADM #-- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT -- title Solaris failsafe root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s module /boot/x86.miniroot-safe #-END BOOTADM title Diagnostic Partition rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

What you just described is what I consider "being on your own". Would you recommend this to a new user who asks the ML the original question? What I meant is, the installer doesn't offer that option by default. Does it? I never said, it's not possible (see my mail). What I in fact did say is, that you can have a different installation per slice s0 through s7 (except s2). I also mentioned, that I rarely ever use x86 and that I'm not sure HOW to do it in detail on x86. Do you still strongly disagree, that the installer doesn't offer that option automatically (with the actual method hidden to the user), and therefore doing it automatically for any (potentially new) user?

Yes, but the Solaris releases that are installed onto a single HDD must all use GRUB (or they all must use the old boot.bin loader) You need at least one spare slice (inside the Solaris fdisk partition). Tell the installer that you want to perform an initial system install. And tell it to preserve existing filesystems; check the filesystem(s) used by SXCR build 51, this includes snv_51's "/" root filesystem, and if you have configured separate filesystems for snv_51 for "/var", "/usr", "/opt", ... these must be preserved as well. Install S10 11/2006 into the spare slice(s). Note that the swap slice can be shared between different OS releases. I'm using the curses based installer (3. or 4. (?) in the initial installation menu). When S10 11/2006 is installed and running, you have to manually fix /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add boot menu entries for the other (preserved) Solaris releases. For example, my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this: [B] title Solaris Nevada snv_50 X86 (b55) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive title Solaris Nevada snv_50 X86 (b55, debug) root (,0,d) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive title Solaris Nevada snv_50 X86 root (,0,e) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive [/B] This allows me to boot three different Solaris releases, either - snv_50, bfu'ed to release b55 bits, from slice c0d0s0 - snv_50, bfu'ed to debug b55 bits, from slice c0d0s3 - snv_50, from slice c0d0s4 This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Do you still strongly disagree, that the installer doesn't offer that option automatically (with the actual method hidden to the user), and therefore doing it automatically for any (potentially new) user? Yes I do because the live upgrade installed actually offers exactly this capability. If you aren't clear on which installer you mean I feel free to disagree ;-) I agree that the interactive installer doesn't make this as easy as it should but that isn't the only way to install Solaris that is well documented. Can it be, we mean the same, and just misunderstand each other? I think it is that you aren't being clear that we have multiple installers: interactive, jumpstart (which are actually the same code) and live upgrade. -- Darren J Moffat ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Okay, you are right in that I wasn't explicit enough: I had been referring to the Interactive Installer (because that is certainly the installer, most newcomers tend to use).
