Re: [osol-help] Cannot Chainload OpenSolaris 2009.06 from second Hard Drive
It has probably to do with the GRUB version. Can you boot, if you change the boot order in the BIOS? Don't forget to change hd1 to hd0. If this works you can check if you can chainload Ubuntu from the Solaris Grub.

Re: [osol-help] Multiple Frequencies
Thanks again. Well after all I might consider using it how it is now. The dissipated heat of the CPU looks reasonable (because it's a mobile CPU) when continuously clocked at maximum frequency.

Re: [osol-help] Multiple Frequencies
Like expected powertop gives the same info as kstat. 'powertop' tells that the system works during 100% of the time at maximum speed (2GHz). 'kstat' tells that under supported frequencies there is only one: 2GHz. When I do the same for my desktop (Q6600), I got the same info, two frequencies: 1.6GHz:2.4GHz Of course 'powertop' gives plenty other info. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

[osol-help] Multiple Frequencies
I've successfully installed OpenSolaris on my Packard Bell EasyNote laptop. There is however one major problem. The kernel uses only the maximum speed of the CPU. This means that it is dissipating quite some heat. I don't mind for a regular computer, but this is not good for a laptop. In other words, OpenSolaris becomes useless since it drains all the power of the battery in a very short time. CPU: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 'kstat -m cpu_info' shows only one frequency: 2GHz Is there no support in the Solaris kernel for multiple frequencies, like there is for instance in the Intel Q6600? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] Installing OpenSolaris problems.
All installations I have ever done of Solaris 10, OpenSolaris, SXDE and SXCE the bootloader was always installed on the drive the OS was installed on. Just to see that the OS works you can boot from the 2nd hd by BIOS (changing boot order for example). Otherwise there are programs (like Supergrub) that will install GRUB on the master boot record of your first hard drive. This will allow you to boot Windows on your first hard drive or to chainload (simply jump from the first to the second hard drive) the second drive -> booting OpenSolaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

While it was previuosly shuting down pretty fast, it takes longer now. For my Asus motherboard (P5KR) it's even worse: OpenSolaris and SXCE take ages before the GUI comes up and it takes the same period to go in shut down.

Re: [osol-help] OpenSolaris 2008.05: network is not working, HELP :(
Instead of disabling/enabling just try to restart your 'nwam': # svcadm restart nwam That's what I use when the network interface is suddenly taken down. If it's still not working you will have to disable the nwam permenantly and use regulat dhcp. The OpenSolaris network connection, especially 'nwam' is not working very well. I have one machine where the network interface is taken down, every time I want to write some big files to a shared folder (NFS) on a server. This same machine can also run Solaris 10 and I have never had any problems like this with network connections. On the other hand I have a server with three ethernet ports (only one connected) and believe or not but 'nwam' selects the right adapter and otherwise works fine.

[osol-help] OpenSolaris update instructions
I have these instructions available in order to update OpenSolaris (see below).
If I have already upgraded to build 94, can I really omit step 4 and 5?
And if so what is the difference?
General instructions on updating to the latest OpenSolaris development build
===
1) Before using the "image-update" subcommand, it is recommended that
the latest available version of the IPS software be installed for your
current boot environment
$ BUILD=`uname -v | sed s/snv_//`
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$ pfexec pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) Before proceeding to the next step, verify your OpenSolaris build
number
$ echo $BUILD
3) If you are running build 93 or greater, you can use "image-update"
directly as follows
$ pfexec pkg image-update
4) If you are using a build prior to 93, it is recommended one apply
the update directly to an alternate boot environment. First, display
the list of the existing BEs on the system
$ beadm list
BEActive Active on Mountpoint Space
Name reboot Used
-- - -- -
opensolaris no no- 33.92M
opensolaris-1 yesyes - 17.06M
Next, choose the name of a new BE - if the most recent created BE is of
the form "opensolaris-” where is an integer, then a suitable
choice for the new BE is “opensolaris-“. In the above example,
the new BE would be “opensolaris-2″.
Then, execute the following sequence to create, mount, update and
activate the new BE
$ pfexec beadm create opensolaris-
$ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris- /mnt
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update
$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-
5) If you are running build 86, one additional work-around is
required.
>> IMPORTANT <<
Due to changes in the GRUB boot system, one must manually update the
Master Boot Record (MBR) to include these latest changes. Failure to
follow these instructions when updating from 2008.05 (build 86) to a
later build will result in a system that does not boot by default and
instead the original boot environment must be manually selected.
Update the GRUB configuration on your ZFS boot device(s) using
$ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt
When you’re ready to boot into the updated boot environment, you can
reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual.

It starts the firefox of machine A and displays it on A. To give an example: Machine A runs Solaris 10 (Firefox 2) and machine B runs OpenSolaris (Firefox 3). When I login with A through ssh on B and type firefox, it starts firefox 2 while it should start firefox 3. I do not have this issue with for instance gimp: 2.0 on Solaris 10 - 2.4 OpenSolaris.

Re: [osol-help] truss
I indeed trussed something related to the GUI. It was just to try the command. Every time I moved the mouse pointer, 'data' appeared on the terminal window. This one worked fine. Next I trussed 'prstat' and all suddenly the GUI hung, except for one terminal window. This one also stopped when I tried to summon the CDE process manager through Ctrl-Alt+del. No I didn't try to kill anything when I logged in from another machine. I was already happy I could login, so immediately went to 'init 6' This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
[osol-help] truss
How safe is this command? I used this on my computer (not as a su) in Solaris 10 and suddenly the whole environment was hanging. I logged in from another computer on this machine and could perform an 'init 6' without a problem. So apparently it made the GUI hang.

Re: [osol-help] best practice for accessing linux XFS partition?
Can you add an additional partition? Is it perhaps possible to add a Windows partition? Or any other partition both OSs can read. Copy with an Ubuntu live CD the Linux data to the Windows partition. Then boot again with a Solaris live CD and try to mount this Windows partition in (Opens)Solaris.

Re: [osol-help] zfs
Thanks for your feedback. Together with your info and the manual I found what I needed. The best thing for me, was to put a new directory 'data' in my home directory. This 'data' folder needed to be attached to the two mirrored disks: #zpool create tank mirror c6t0d0 c6t1d0 #zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/home/username/data tank/data #chown username:groupname /export/home/username/data/ All data copied now to /export/home/username/data/ resides on the mirrored disks.

I have a server with in total four hard disks. The first one 74 GB is used for system boot the second one is still not used. I have converted the other two (250 GB) into a mirrored tank.

Re: [osol-help] Ethernet problem
Well, if the drivers are there they should be installed, otherwise the network connection is misconfigured, or the drivers do not exist. Before installation, did you check whether the drivers are available or not? I'm not sure all wireless drivers for Atheros are available. I have a Packard Bell laptop using an Atheros wireless adapter which does not have a Solaris driver. For your ethernet you could try by restarting the 'nwam': # svcadm restart nwam If it's still not working post the output of 'ifconfig -a' and 'netstat -n -r' This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Network Configuration for Dummies (me, in this case)
Could you post the output of: #ifconfig -a and #netstat -nr Sometimes it helps when restarting the nwam: svcadm restart nwam Of course you first need to enable it. The same way like you disabled it.

Re: [osol-help] Tyan Thunder Motherboards
By the way, one of the PCIe slots has an angle adapter so I can attach a graphical adapter to this one. Or since you mentioned 'workstation', I could actually build the whole motherboard in a workstation frame so I would get rid of the excessive vacuum cleaner sound. In the end I paid this server 400 euro which is fairly price I think. I first installed Solaris 10, but this was hanging all the time (upon init 5-6) when updating. So I installed OpenSolaris and for so far it runs fairly well. During installation setup it just took extremely long before it could find the four hard disks Just two questions: When adding two identical graphical adapters is there anything you need to take into account? I' m just wondering since you have two identical cards on the same bus. However one is closer to the CPU(s) than the other. This S2892 motherboard has RAID, did you also manage to configure this? I had to disable the RAID to make the disks visible. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
