[osol-help] smartmontools and SXCE snv_98
I am trying to get smart monitoring to work in Solaris 64-bit with smartmontools version 5.36 [i386-pc-solaris2.8] I have some of my HDDS connected thru LSI3081E-R with LSI1068E SATA chip (c0*) and some thru MBs ICH10R controller SATA ports (c2*). With smartctl I get these results. # smartctl -i /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s0 smartctl version 5.36 [i386-pc-solaris2.8] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option.

Re: [osol-help] How do switch from X11 to Text-Mode?
Although the "virtual console" project has integrated into Nevada, the initial integration only supports swapping text terminals - X is not supported. You can download a version of virtual terminal support that includes X support from here: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vconsole/Downloads/ This only offers experimental support for X however.

I fixed the problem. I have two monitors with USB hubs in them.

To read these messages: start the kernel with options " -kv". At the grub boot menu, use the 'e' command twice to edit the boot command; edit the line starting with "kernel$ " and append " -kv" at the end. RETURN + 'b' boots.

Since there was linux installed on the disk, maybe this is the problem where the opensolaris installer apparently installs to the linux swap fdisk partition (0x82) instead of the new solaris fdisk partition (0xbf): http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/relnotes/200811/x86/#6670311 If that is the case, it's probably easiest to wipe the old fdisk partition table from that disk (since you want to use all of the disk for opensolaris, nothing would be lost), and re-install from scratch. > > grub is there, but has problems accessing the root > > filesystem.

At the grub prompt, does a "geometry (hd0)" command list more than one partition?
