[osol-discuss] Msg: Bad PBR sig, SXCR_86, Thinkpad T42P, USB drive [circumvented]
Posting this circumvention in the hope it will be useful. Installed SXCR build 86 on an external Maxtor 160 GB USB hard disk. I did not select use whole disk but did consume the entire usable disk, so, as expected, I got a classical Intel-like MBR, with one partition table entry in it and that appears correct: 0x 80 00 01 01 BF FE FF FF C1 3E 00 00 00 4C A1 12 So we're startable, type 191, extents jive. Install had gone flawlessly, but the first boot of new system yielded Bad PBR sig. Because it was not clear exactly how the Thinkpad BIOS was presenting the USB drive, I took a look at ...usr/src/psm/stand/bootblks/ufs/i386/mboot.S. From that, I tried the double-shift-down debug mode, which said, LBA, and I determined that the USB drive was presented as 0x81 (0x80 being the internal HDD containing WinXP in a type 7 partition). Not really having time to research this properly, noticing that mboot.S forces drive 0x80, and not wanting to take the time to deal with assembling 16-bit real mode code on the fly, I simply zapped this MBR to force drive 0x81 instead of 0x80. Same Bad PBR sig. My next thought was to zap the je sigok (after readok:) to a hard jump, but quickly rejected that as reckless and very unlikely to work anyway. In the meantime I found another post with this circumvention: Boot install DVD (C)onsole out of GRUB Use chainloader +1 /and this worked/--the USB disk booted fine. But needing to keep the DVD around all the time would be a drag. I then tried entirely different MBR's, and placing GRUB's stage1 into the MBR via # installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 worked. No DVD needed. I should note that even though GRUB's console sees this USB drive as hd1, Sol sees this drive as c0t0d0, as that command illustrates. I call this a circumvention since I haven't taken the time to research this fully--this could be related to 6413235 or others hitting near to that, but I think this is really just an issue of synergy between particular USB firmware, a particular BIOS flavor, and Solaris. Anyway, it gave me a bootable system :) Cheers, Jim This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Installation ERROR
No it's not the primary partition. There is currently Mandriva installed (the only Linux that could drive my wireless network), which makes use of the primary partition. I also don't understand that according to the SXDE partition wizard there are two unused partitions: One before the 'etx3' and another one after the Linux swap. So according to the SXDE the Linux OS is somewhere in the middle of the disk. Or could it be that there is still some hidden partition not seen by the Linux partitioner? The notebook used to run on Vista and if I'm correct they use a hidden partition on the disk to reinstall Vista in case of a crash. Perhaps SXDE recognizes this.

I will be in trouble to install it on a logical partition. On this computer, Mandriva 2007, FC6, Windows XP and open SuSE 10.2 work fine. I have created additional partitions. I thought I could install opensolaris on one of the empty partitions. All those partitions are logical ones. Hi Gorky, as mentioned, this is unfortunately not (yet) possible. Solaris right now requires a primary partition. Can you relocate the free space (the empty logical partition) to either the end or the start of the extended partition ? If so, you could shrink it and create a new primary from the freed space, which would allow you to install Solaris. But then, you're using SuSE 10.2 / FC6 ? You might want to try installing OpenSolaris as a Xen domU as both of these Linux distributions include the hypervisor. Yes, it's not directly-on-metal but installing in a virtualized environment allows to bypass the need for a primary partition. We've got a Xen port, it's fully paravirtualized so you don't have a huge speed impact by running it as Xen domU. See the xVM project here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/ and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] forum for help/troubleshooting. Would that be an option ?

It does recognize a Linux swap though. Linux swap used to use the same partition id as Solaris, the Solaris partition id was changed to avoid this clash. I think SXCE still recognises a Linux swap partition as a Solaris partition. To avoid this, just move the Linux swap into an extended partition.

[osol-discuss] xVM virt-install fails while installing the OS
Hi i'm trying to install Solaris10 on a virtual machine created by xVM command virt-install. However, after configuring the installation the utility fails the installation with the following error message: - Preparing system for Solaris install Configuring disk (c0d0) - Creating Fdisk partition table ERROR: Could not create Fdisk partition table ERROR: Could not label disks ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration Could not update disks with new configuration Any idea how I can fix this problem? Do have a look below at what I have done to arrive at this situation. Also the virt-install command hangs in there and the only way to terminate is by either killing it or by using xm destroy. I am installing the OS from a 3.6 GB iso image from the local file system on Solaris in Domain-0 on x86 and the installation is being done on one of the SAS drives on the x86 system. I also tried installing the image on a local file ( around 10GB) but that too failed with the same error message.

Re: [osol-discuss] Network adapters
Your onboard network chip seems to be an Attansic L1 gigabit ethernet adaptor. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Solaris driver available for this. Your best bet is probably to use the NDIS wrapper along with the Windows drivers for this NIC. You can find the NDIS wrapper toolkit for Solaris here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/ You should have the Windows drivers in the CD that came with the motherboard. Instructions for setting up the NDIS wrapper are here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ndis/ Cheers Andrew.

Re: [osol-discuss] opensolaris on a logical partition
Frankho, I am sorry for the belated reply. I was very busy with so many other things during the last 3 days. I have created 3 primary partitions and the fourth one expanded into many logical partitions. All the primary partitions are filled with programs which includes Windows XP. I don't want to remove programs from the primary partitions. I want to install opensolaris on one of the logical partitions. I have 5 or 6 empty logical partitions. I want to install other Linux distros and opensolaris on those partitions. There are no problems with Linux distros. I can smoothly install any Linux distro. Solaris and opensolaris are liabilities. For some strange reason they want primary partitions. Recently I met people at SUN corporation. They hold a conference. It was SUN Expo 2008. They told me developers of Solaris do not want to change the requirement of a primary partition.

It appears that something other than your xsltproc is paged out. Nope, most of the 2693M of swap in use is reserved swap space for the heap data that is allocated by the big xsltproc process. I also had a few old / big files in /tmp, but not more than 50mbytes. AFAIK, the ARC should not page, Correct, that's in the kernel's heap. so what else is using that memory? The big xsltproc process, and a few files in /tmp Plus the X11 server dtlogin, but no user logged in into JDS. Your ARC + xsltproc are only equal to 2754M. There's something else on your system consuming 3862M. That's not what I see... I'd say the ARC consumes arc.c 1356 MB + arc.arc_meta_used 448 MB (?); and there is a 2306MB RSS for the xsltproc process. That's a total of 4110 MB. And in case the arc meta data is already included in arc.c: 1356 MB + 2306MB = 3662 MB used. Before you ran the process, what did things look like, memory wise? Before running xsltproc: % swap -s total: 105256k bytes allocated + 16804k reserved = 122060k used, 4133532k available And while it is running: % swap -s total: 2590132k bytes allocated + 16604k reserved = 2606736k used, 1668740k available Also keep in mind that /tmp is an in memory filesystem.

Re: [osol-discuss] Mysql's Innodb immensely slow on ZFS
Jason, Hi Jurgen, On our Thumpers running MySQL, we limit the ARC to 4GB. On systems with less RAM we limit the ARC to 1GB. Ok, on a machine running a database server (and nothing else), that might make sense. On a general purpose box it doesn't make much sense; I'd have to reboot the box in various ARC configurations depending on the workload / memory requirements. What kind of disk is backing the pools? I'm my case (with running a single big memory hungy process and the ARC cache filled with lots of cached data) it's a simple zpool on one 100GB ATA HDD.

Hi Joerg, Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, cdrecord requires Cygwin and doesn't work well with UNC paths.

Why don't you just use cdrecord? cdrecord runs on any OS. ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Jörg -- EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED](uni) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Building mod_rails on x64 opensolaris container
Hi, I am trying to build mod_rails on a Joyent-hosted OSol (snv_67) x64 container. I installed SunStudio 12 compiler and 124864-03, 124868-04, 126498-05 patches. The ruby gem in question is called passenger (as in gem install passenger) and is being tried aout for a part in a large facebook ruby-on-rails application stack. I rebuilt apache from scratch and now I am stopped here: -- [z14098CJ:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-1.0.1/ext/apache2] root# rake (in /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-1.0.1) ### In ext/apache2: CC -D_REENTRANT -D_XPG4_2 -Wall -g -I/usr/local/include -KPIC -g -DPASSENGER_DEBUG -DSOLARIS2=11 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/apache2/include -m64 -I/usr/local/apache2/include -I.. -c mod_passenger.c CC: Warning: Option -Wall passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise /usr/include/signal.h, line 95: Error: ) expected instead of *. /usr/local/apache2/include/apr_network_io.h, line 215: Error: In this declaration sin6 is of an incomplete type sockaddr_in6. 2 Error(s) detected. rake aborted!
