[osol-discuss] Optiplex 960; No SOF interrupt
I bought a new desktop on which I hoped to run Opensolaris. At the moment it looks like it's going to be Fedora. I can't boot 2009.6 or b115. I get No SOF interrupt on two controllers. It doesn't seem to see the CD after booting even though the CD seems to be SATA, and the SOF interrupt errors are from USB controllers. I've tried all possible user-acpi-option values (8, 4, 2) with no change. At one point I got it to the point where the X software was there, but the X server crashes as well. I had thought that Optiplexes used really standard hardware, but I guess not. Any ideas? Fedora works really nicely. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I have/had opensolaris 0805, 0811, and 0906; sxce builds 114 & 115 all running on three different pieces of hardware - 1 laptop and 2 desktops and haven't run into any installation problems with any release. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Optiplex 960; No SOF interrupt
I have opensolaris running on two desktops and one laptop as well. But none of them is a Optiplex 960. Are you saying you have it running on that system? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Optiplex 960; No SOF interrupt
The optiplex 960 works fine. I've tried every trick I can find, and can't get rid of the "No SOF interrupt" messages, but they are harmless. The reason I couldn't do an install is that Solaris wasn't seeing the disk drives. And the reason it wasn't seeing the disk drives is that the BIOS was set up to use a RAID controller for them, even though I didn't have RAID set up. When I changed the BIOS to not use ACPI rather than RAID, things started working fine. I am having a problem with the X.org Radeon HD controller, but things worked OK in VESA mode. Since I want this primarily as a server, that's not a real problem, though it should be fixed. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
