Re: [osol-help] Can't connect to internet (new to Solaris/SXDE)
Thats weird somehow... If the /dev/nge exists Solaris HAS found your ethernet NIC . I dont think any additional update_drv is needed. Why " failure to configure nge0 " is reported needs to be investigated. here are some things to check up to try to establish if the device is correctly configured. If you issue this command: # grep nge /etc/path_to_inst "/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0 "nge" Does the PCI identifier correspond to the one you see with "prtconf -v " ? If you issue the command: # modinfo | grep nge 154 f82af000 105e8 189 1 nge (nVidia 1Gb Ethernet 1.29) does the system show that the nge driver is loaded as above ? And /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge should be a character device . # ls -l /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 11, 189 mar 26 21:05 /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge If all this is OK. try to do a manual ifconfig with a fake address like 172.16.1.10 # ifconfig nge0 plumb 172.16.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig -a should then show: # ifconfig -a nge0: flags=201000843 mtu 1500 index 2 inet 172.16.1.10 netmask ff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Qustion about Disk, partitions, and Slices
See: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/6mbb1kq41?a=view Solaris has its own scheme for dividing up the disk that is separate from partitions. Solaris can (currently) only use one partition on each disk. Solaris calls these "fdisk partitions". Within that partition (in your case partition 3) there are slices defined. So when installgrub runs with the above command, it seeks out the Solaris partition, finds the first slice (i.e. s0), and installs grub in there. The Solaris installer will put the root filesystem into s0 . As you will see in the article linked above, GRUB uses a different naming scheme for slices. Solaris/BSD slices are refered to using letters instead of numbers. The incantation is slightly easier to read: (hd0,0,a) is the first hard disk, first partition, first slice. Similarly: (hd0,0,b) is the first hard disk, first partition, second slice. So your partition 3 slice 1 would be: (hd0,2,a) So after installing grub your menu.lst should have a line that reads: root (hd0,2,a) > #installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 > c0d0s0 That line should work correctly on your system, since installgrub, according to the slightly ambiguous man page, will politely ignore the presence of other partitions and dump grub into slice 0 of the Solaris partition. If you are using Windows bot manager as the primary boot loader, the easiest way to load Solaris is to use bootpart from: http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm Ignore the warnings about needing a FAT16 partition as the first partition - all this program does is provide a simple way of chainloading another operating system on your system using its own customised grub boot sector which is chainloaded from the Windows boot manager menu. If you are running Windows 2000 or XP, you are using Windows boot manager (which derives from Microsoft OS/2 originally) to boot your OS - it just no longer prints out its name on screen as it did on NT.

[osol-help] LDAP SMC and TX
I am having real trouble installing JDS 5.2P4 on my TX system. Here is the just of the issue: I have installed a SunBlade 2500 from scratch with Solaris 10 8/07 (SUNWXall) I then install and configure TX. Reboot -- -s and install Patch Cluster dated 29 Jan 08 (yes there is a newer patch cluster but I have not tested that one in my environment) Reboot -- -r -s, install the following patches: 122212-23 119538-14 125533-05 128404-01 119313-16 119315-11 Next I install Directory Server, start smc, and execute the dtsetup commands. The problem is I only see files in the list of managable scopes. I have found very little to no documentation on dtsetup. The frustrating thing is I have done this at least 10 times prior and have NEVER seen this problem. I am completely stuck and would appreciate any suggestions.

[osol-help] Qustion about Disk, partitions, and Slices
In order to run the installgrub of Solaris, I need to know in which partition is it installed. The man pages of installgrub give as an example this: #installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 c0d0s0 >From that, I guessed that c0 is for cylinder 0, d0 is for disk 0, and s0 is >for slice 0. The thing I know is that my Solaris fdiks is installed on >partition 3, in "standard" grubs it would be (hd0,2) because of the zero >based. I don't know about slices. My intention is to install the grub in the >Solaris partition, and then make the Solaris partition the active one, so that >the Solaris grub is executed every time the machine is booted, I don't want to >install it in the MBR because I think this is more clean and tidy.

[osol-help] WEP key provided by server
I all, I'm having a issue with OpenSolaris to connect to a wireless network. With linux I would configure wpa_supplicant and define the MSchapV2, eap=PEAP. The nwam is able to see the network but unable to connect. With wificonfig and/or dladm I'm unable to configure WEP with key provided by the server. Does anyone has any idea on how to do this in OpenSolaris? Regards Ether.pt This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] How to switch between English and Russian in Star Office Text Editor ?
You have a doc in Russian and you're unable to print it? That's odd ... and unfortunately in that case I can only advice to check the driver printer or to try and print in another software. The printing should not be a problem. You have postscript or the printer driver.

Re: [osol-help] Can't connect to internet (new to Solaris/SXDE)
Hello. Your help was very clear and easy to follow. 1. I received a 'failure to configure nge0' device error when I started up Solaris. I get that error every few restarts. 2. I also have a file like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 22 15:41 nge -> ../devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge 3. I found out the pci id of my device is pci10de.cb84, which is where nge0, id 57 is installed at. 4. So would I type # update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,"' nge , where would be cb84? I just want to make sure so I don't screw anything up. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
