Re: [osol-help] GRUB problem
hello everybody, I have installed opensolaris 2009.06 with windows 7 ultimate x64 and ubuntu 11.04 x64 as i wanted to triple boot my system. I installed windows first followed by ubuntu on an extended partition and finally installed opensolaris on primary partition after windows. Now I'm able to boot windows and opensolaris but not ubuntu. Opensolaris's GRUB did not write an entry for ubuntu which now i have to write manually.[i] I have attached the ubuntu's GRUB configuration file [b]grub.cng[/b] with this post[/i]. please help me This may help. it's a three part article explaining how to triple boot opensolaris. the bottom of the article shows how to edit grub when triple booting. http://blogs.oracle.com/observatory/en_US/entry/triple_boot_part_3_install -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] [osol-discuss] advise on opensolaris version to be used
I will try to play with OpenSolaris version 0906 for a while and maybe later check out Solaris 11 Express and other OpenSolaris based distros. I think the front page should notify new users their won't be any more opensolaris binary distro releases. opensolaris 2010.05 was the last unsupported release, but you need to upgrade to it from the IPS repos. just install opensolaris snv134, change the repos to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release; then upgrade to opensolaris 2010.05. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Help I'm all at sea with osol installation
OK I've got my hands on a tasty ultra45, the only problem is its got no DVD drive , cable or tray. I tried to make an adapter but I couldn't get the pinouts for the sun 50way IDE cable. I'm trying now to do a netboot of the 0906 iso using a tftp server. I've setup a tftp server on a windows laptop, named the iso using the host id I've connected the laptop and sparc using a crossover network lead and set the PC to a static IP of 192.168.1.1 I've configured the network-boot arguments on the sparc to host-ip=192.168.1.2,hostname=danger,file=tftp://192.16 8.1.1/osol-0906-ai-sparc.iso the sparc connects, negotiates to 100fdx then starts to download the file. Part way through the file it bombs out with some bus error that I've seen some other people asking about. ERROR: /packages/obp-tftp: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss I'm sure its not a hardware fault, its almost as if I've forgotten to set something up. Baring in mind although I've had a few sparcs before, I'm completely unfamiliar with network boots and installs, and not that knowledable about solaris in general. Please can someone help me as I'm completely at sea and have no idea how to progress further. Thanks loads M Message was edited by: markw123 Message was edited by: markw123 Hi, It sounds like it is having a Bus and Memory Management Unit problem, according to this from princeton: Bus Error A bus error is issued to the processor when it references a location that cannot be accessed. * MMU: (Memory Management Unit: can be hardware or software, but frequently are system board problems.) http://www.princeton.edu/~unix/Solaris/troubleshoot/error.html Regards Edward -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Unable to boot Linux from OSolaris 2009.06 b134
Hi, I have openSolaris installed on sda4 alongside several linux on sda2 (extended), PC-BSD on sda3 and Windows 7 on sda1. In addition I have 4 more Linux on sdc2 (extended). During Solaris install I used grub to hide sda2 in order to hide swap and stuff. Solaris installed its GRUB on MBR, I used GRUB CD to unhide sda2 post install. Solaris GRUB picked up Windows and went on commenting several ext4 partitions on sdc2. I edited the /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst and added sda2 and sdc2 Linux titles in it. why don't you use VirtualBox to run all those OS as guest? http://www.virtualbox.org/ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] Opinions and how to move forward?
More thoughts please! :) Or you could continue using eiher Opensolaris 2009.06 or snv_b134 until Oracle release what suppose to be Opensolaris replacement Solaris 11 Express at the end of the year, and it is mention, that it might include ZFS data encryption, not seen anywhere else until Oracle releases the code, probably here at Opensolaris home page after solaris 11 ships out. ZFS gains data encryption http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/ZFS-gains-data-encryption-1101860.html (slow site to load) PS it was mention by an oracle official that solaris will remain opensource and only the brand name opensolaris was being retired in favor of solaris 11. and oracle will continue working with opensolaris :-) quote: Dan Roberts, Director of Solaris Product Management surprised attendees by stating that the OpenSolaris brand was going away. Although the name itself won’t continue, the source code will continue to be open and available to the developer community. What Oracle is doing here, he said, is simplifying its naming conventions. “We are going to focus everything around Solaris 11 to keep it simple,” said Roberts. “There will no longer be a separate brand called OpenSolaris.” He stressed that Oracle will continue to work with the Linux community on the open-source version of OpenSolaris, as well as Oracle Linux and its Red Hat Compatible Linux. “While we have changed the way we will work with the community, Solaris will remain open source and the source code will be made available to customers.” http://www.cmswire.com/cms/information-management/oracle-unveils-mysql-55-says-goodbye-to-opensolaris-brand-oow10-008649.php -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
