Frank, The E3500 uses FC-AL disks. The module that recognizes the FC-AL controller needs to be loaded at boot for you to see the disk. Raoul Volpe Phone (877) 44 SOL EX (Toll Free) Phone +001 407 396 1341 (outside US) Fax +001 586 816 7086 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.solarisexpert.com

RE: RE : E3000 installation problem (cont'd)

I am sure there is a better answer out there; in the meantime: Are you booting from a CD you burned yourself ? I had a weird problem in the past with CDs burned at 12X+ and MMU miss . Once rewritten at 2X the errors went away. Raoul Volpe Phone (877) 44 SOL EX (Toll Free) Phone +001 407 396-1341

RE: E3000 installation problem (cont'd)

my less than useful contribution... TOD (time of day) error message (as you discovered) is actually irrelevant... the error in your case is being reported by one of your CMBs (most likely a component residing on it such as CPU0 or whichever the OS is booting from - usually the first one to show ac

RE: Booting Installation on SunBlade

limit-ecache-size reduces the accessible cache size from 8Mb to 4MB on enterprise systems. That was implemented to work around a bug in Solaris 2.6 when the 8MB CPUs (X2580A) came out. Solaris kernel was panicing during CDROM boot with a "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" error. the workaround was to issu

RE: Sun Enterprise 3500

I am not sure if kernel will see the FC-AL internal disks during installation. I know Suse did not support that... If that is the case for debian as well, you may have to use an external unipack or similar SCSI device. Raoul Volpe > -Original Message- > From: Loren Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL

2.2.20 -> 2.4.18 sun4m through apt

Greetings, I have added the sid and testing sources , but I still cannot find any kernel upgrade to 2.4.18 for my Sun4m. Should I re-install from scratch using the ISO images mentioned in previous threads (long...) ? I was able to go from 2.2.20 to 2.4.18 on my sun4u machine using apt (and I can

Cloning boot disk

I have 2 SCSI hard drives, different geometries (1Gb vs. 9GB ; dd will not work). How do I clone them (tar may be ok ?) so that my new disk becomes bootable (meaning, what is the Linux equivalent of the solaris 'installboot'?) and all the data is preserved ? Thanks Raoul Volpe -- To UNSUBSC

SCSI disks > 8 ???

Greetings, I have 14 disks connected to my Sun box (you may see them duplicated becaus of the dual channel connection). I can only see up to /dev/sdh (8 disks in total). The rest of the devices is not created. I read the man pages for MAKEDEV and it staets it can only go up to 8. Should I use mk
