Please ; I told you to describe the hardware you are running on ,
from the comment above we understand that you ATA disccontroller
is so old that its got the 132 GB adress limit.
We cant help you unless you describe the box you are trying to use.

Take a look here, and you can see what that is next to useless. |

Could someone explain the behaviour in the next sequence of events;

My PC is switched off the day before daylight saving time will become

in my timezone. PC gives correct date on both systems.
what will happen the next day in case of:
1. I first start MSWindows and then reboot and start solaris
2. I boot solaris.
Will the date on solaris be correct in both cases?

What makes you think that? AFAIK both Solaris and Windows keep UTC and
display the time adjusted for the local time zone.

in that case solaris will have different HW clocks in the 2 cases I

Re: Solaris 10 1/06 installation hangs after booting from CD
|
|
|
I forgot to mention, my configuration is Compaq EVO N800v notebook,
but I'm not sure if it is so important because first release of
Solaris 10 on DVD and Solaris 9 CD sets worked just fine. |

Re: Solaris 10 1/06 OK, but Solaris Express Build 33 and 36 fail

Is that available as a downloaded DVD? I think snv_37 is only on
OpenSolaris, so you need Solaris Express installed to build it. But I am
not following the OpenSolaris, so perhaps I am mistaken. If a DVD can be
downloaded, let me know from where.
My SPARC all run the General Release, but I thought I'd investiage some
of the later versions on the x86 box.

I initally had one SATA 300 GB disk. I later added a 73 GB SCSI, but the
problem was evident before then.

1.03 (Solaris didn't like BIOS 1.02 - only Solaris 10 FCS was able to

(already installed, therefor the 64-bit kernel).

Did you install this from a DVD, or a network install? Did you isntall
via a serial port - I think that motherboard will support that.
I just had a monitor plugged onto the video card and attemted to boot
from a DVD.
Its difficult to see how I can progress on this. I had one of these
motherboards, but the USB developed a problem, so would only power USB
devices intermittantly. So the board was repleaced (after threat of
legal action as they were taking ages to sort it out). But I'm no nearer
getting Solaris Express to install. Having now failed on two of these
motherboards, it make me wonder if Solaris 11 (whenever it available for
general release) will ever run.
On paper at least this is a nice motherboard - supporing dual Opterons,
16 GB RAM, dual Ultra 320 SCSI, dual GigaBit ethernet etc. But I can't
see to get it to boot.
I have another CD-ROM drive (rathe than DVD). That one is SCSI. I could
try that, but I don't expect it would make much difference. Not sure
what else I can do.

Re: Geforce 6600 driver hassles on Solaris 10 1/06

Dave (from the UK) wrote:
| Quote: | I'm trying to install Solaris 10 1/06 on PC with a Gigabyte GeForce 6600
graphics card. This is a 64-bit PC (Opteron 248).
During the install it selects
Video Device: Nvida Corporation GeForce 6600
Video Driver: XF86-NV
Resolution/Colours: 1024 x 768 256 Color @ &0 Hz.
Screen size: 17"
Anyway, that lot simply does not work - the screen is a right mess.
Changing the video driver to:
Video Driver: XF86-VESA
and setting the monitor size, resolution to more sensible values
(1600x1200 @ 60 Hz, 21"), gives me a nice GUI and I can install Solaris.
The problem is, once installed, as soon the X server starts, so the
screen become unusable again. Having discovered the XF86-VESA driver
works during install, whereas the XF86-NV one did not, I assumed Solaris
would then use a workable driver. But needless to say I can't do much at
this point with it.
Any suggestions on the best driver to use? I assume download one from
the Nvida site?
|
I'm a newbie to the OpenSolaris world and had pretty much the same exact
experience. During the install the VESA mode was usable but, alas, there
was no permanent configuration for X installed and the subsequent reboot
after successful install meant no X. I found that the xorgconfig text based
script produced very close to a functional xorg.conf if the same VESA mode
was used. This at least made X usable but unable to get out of VESA mode as
the nv driver simply wouldn't work.
I installed the NVIDIA drivers - with the caveat that I had to back up to
the 8175 version I believe because I am still running snv_25. I suspect the
8756 didn't work for me because it was compiled on later source. The manual
changes to the xorg.conf were minimal at this stage. I manually placed a
set of Horizsync and Vertrefresh lines that I knew worked from my FreeBSD
box and changed the driver from VESA to nividia. I think I also poked in
the BusID, but I'm sure this was required.
Should probably mention my card is a PNY 6800GT AGP card on an old KD7A
KT400A chipset mobo. The AGP port driver in FreeBSD did not support this
AGP port but installing the NVIDIA driver allowed the use of NVIDIA's
built-in AGP port driver. I've also seen this in the Xorg.0.log on the
OpenSolaris box indicating its use. Perhaps the nv driver doesn't function
on some hardwares for the same reason [agp port driver doesn't support
particular hardware]. But the NVIDIA driver using it's built in AGP port
driver and my 6800GT AGP card is working flawlessly here.

If they've got UltraSparc 5 chips in, Pentium probably.

At least you didn't have to explain what a Sunfire was....
A broadband ISP here apparently described a firewall as "literally a

Try Sun Studio 11 (also free) - both compile lines worked OK for me.

You could also make sure you're up-to-date on your Studio 10 patches
first, I guess.
