[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.

Re: [osol-help] Unable to install 2009.06 b134
I have 4 OS installed (prior to this version of Solaris) on my machine being Windows7, BSD on primary, Linux Mint and openSuSE (this is my fav.) on extended with swap partition. Swap partition and Solaris partition share same #. There is a policy of solaris that goes like preserve solaris (it is unlikely though since oracle has overshadowed the sun -:), this being the case the installer thought there is Solaris install present. I had to convert the swap to ext4 in order to get solaris install done. When I try to make install I ensure that I allocate minimum 20 gig of space for non Linux Distro. The error message actually tells you whats wrong. It got me worried over the hardware(disk) condition since I got a replacement under warranty abt a couple of months back. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

[osol-help] SUNWipkg error when attempting to upgrade from snv_128a to snv_129 x64
Hi All, This has me stumped. I dutifully followed the instructions in the b129 release notes, specifically: When using http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ as an origin URI, the name of the publisher must be opensolaris.org and there should be no other publishers with that name. In addition, specifying a publisher for both the http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ and http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ origin URIs is an error as only one of them should be in use at a time, using a publisher of opensolaris.org. Hitherto I've been using http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ with the publisher name opensolaris.dev (with no probs when updating through developer builds) so made the changes described: $ pfexec pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI opensolaris.org (preferred) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ homeunix.com (disabled) origin online http://ips.homeunix.com:10906/ opensolaris.contrib (disabled) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/ I did have contrib enabled for a bit but don't recall ever installing any packages from it, and running the command detailed in the release notes at http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=119793tstart=0 to search for packages installed from the contrib repository doesn't find anything.

[osol-help] OpenSolaris on a SunBlade 1000 - working but a couple of problems
Dear All, I have now managed to get a SunBlade 1000 running OpenSolaris 2009.06 but from the dev repository. I mostly followed instructions from a posting in install discuss plus a few other bits. I did it by first installing Nevada 127 and then building IPS to run on that and then used pkg to get the OpenSolaris and so on. Anyway, I have a couple of problems and I was hoping someone might have some advice. 1/. Having got OpenSolaris going, it can't find a device driver for the display adapter so I can run X on console. The SunBlade 1000 has a SUN PGX64 display adapter card. I get the following message as part of the boot sequence. === Dec 8 04:44:25 unknown consconfig_dacf: [ID 615089 kern.warning] WARNING: consconfig: cannot find driver for screen device /p...@8,70/SUNW,m...@1 === 2/.

[osol-help] problems with UK keyboard on X86 auto install 2009.06
Dear All, We are having large problems getting auto installs of opensolaris 2009.06 on x86 to properly detect UK layout keyboards.

A typical problem being that UK pound (£) gets displayed as ? If we install from a live CD, then all works fine. Of course, when installing from live CD we get asked various location/keyboard type questions.

Re: [osol-help] X4500 / thumper opensolaris 2009.06 install oddities
Dear All, Thank you for comment. I don't believe the thumper does have a fault. We bought the machines direct off Sun as factory refurbished and we negotiated a very good price. And yes, indeed we have warantee and indeed we have paid for longer support than the standard time. As I commented at the end of my post, I do indeed have the one thumper that I have worked on running fine with OpenSolaris 2009.06. The two boot disks had a slightly odd label written to them I believe which caused the initial Bad PBR sig. I have relabelled both boot disks and I have them running fine as a mirrored ZFS root pool. However, it does seem to me that OpenSolaris 2009.06 autoinstall does have a problem with thumpers as I reported. As I commented, I managed to load OpenSolaris 2009.06 fine from an external DVD drive. So, I go back to my one of my earlier questions: Has anyone sucessfully autoinstalled OpenSolaris 2009.06 onto a x4500/thumper??

[osol-help] X4500 / thumper opensolaris 2009.06 install oddities
I'm currently in the middle of installing a pair of Sun X4500s (thumpers). I have some oddities to report and a question. 1/. When I first tried to boot the thumper out of the box, it eventually stops with Bad PBR sig. At that point I believe the disks should have had a Solaris 10 pre-install on. 2/. I then set up an auto-install server with x86 images and standard manifests etc and try to boot that. I get a grub screen offering opensolaris 2009.06, but when I select that, it then ends (as others pointed out a few months ago) with Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules 3/. I then attached an external DVD drive and I started from there with a live CD of OpenSolaris 2009.06. That boots o.k.. I was a bit surprised that the two boot disks came up as c11t0d0 and c11t4d0. From reading elsewhere I had expected the two boot disks on the thumper to be c6t0d0 and c6t4d0. 4/. Anyway, I completed install and it rebooted fine. I then removed the LCD display, keyboard, mouse and external DVD drives (which I had tempoarily added) and rebooted and the disks were still on c11. There is talk in manual about adding external USB drives changing control numbering, but I was still a bit surprised. 5/. I can talk just to the service processor (ILOM) ok over its serial interface, however, if I use start /SP/console to try to get an on-line console, I see various messages as the thumper boots, but I don't get offered a console login once it has booted. Normally, with Solaris on SPARC boxes I do at that stage get a console login. Do I have to set some options in OpenSolaris somwhere? Anyway, I am now about to mirror the root disks and create zpools etc but at least I am going o.k. If anyone has any comments on my points above (and in particular, if anyone has managed to auto install a thumper) I would love to hear as I still have the second thumper yet to start...

You need to boot into the middle entry on Grub for the text console. You get only one choice for installation from GRUB. Then you get six choices for how to perform the install. Text mode only is option 4. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] Trouble with Solaris
I also wanted to try Solaris 10 (not open Solaris) downloaded it via torrent but the installation bobbed in between when one software installation failed. Solaris 10 is *not* available via torrent. What you downloaded is probably loaded with a root kit. However, Solaris 10 is available from Sun Microsystems as a free ISO image download of about 2.2 GB. Sun also offers at the same download site the Software Companion CD image containing a variety of other useful and freely distributable software. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp Is Solaris 10 still proprietary ?

Re: [osol-help] Trouble with Solaris
I've already gone through two adviser's with sun to help match my wish list to a machine but got nothing even sent the wish list. So I'm suppose to know the OS and the product or it is one and the same ??? What product? If you are purchasing a computer from Sun then it will likely arrive with Solaris 10 pre-installed but you will then certainly want to re-install it because of a stupid partitioning scheme. If you want Solaris 10 then get Solaris 10. If you want Solaris Express Community Edition then get that. There is no cost for either of them although Sun will be happy to sell you support contracts for Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] Problem Installating OpenSolaris
Maybe i'm wrong, but I supuse I have first to create the partition for opensolaris. Then I have to give it the format. No. It is only necessary that the fdisk partition type be appropriate and the partition is a real, not logical, partition. Type 0x82 (Linux Swap) should work properly.

Re: [osol-help] Locked out of my System
In any case, the magic command should be pfexec. Use it like sudo (i.e. pfexec vi .). Failing that, you can use the su command, and googling for default root password and your distribution name should turn up the appropriate password to use. Googling the default root password is not going to be of much help except when booting from optical media. Root's password is whatever the person who installed the system chose to use - and forget. BTW, root's password can be set in Ubuntu so that su rather than sudo can be used: sudo passwd root -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Problem Installating OpenSolaris
As far as I know a swap partition is used by the *nix operating system as windows uses the pageing file [correct me if I'm wrong...] Solaris uses either 0xbf (Solaris) or 0x82 (Linux Swap) typed partition. The OP's partition set aside for OpenSolaris is probably a logical partition, which will not work at all.
