SUMMARY: U2 Creator hangs while attempting a Solaris 2.6 install
2007-12-24 20:37:00
hardware Sol 2.6 didn't like. I suspect it is the latter, as we were
using a DE Ultra SCSI card to connect the A1000 to.
Thanks to Jon for the recommendation to run 'boot cdrom -v' (how
quickly we forget those commands we don't use often) to watch what the
machine is doing. It complained about some piece of hardware needing a
QLogix driver and stopped. I pulled the two (now unused) S-bus SCSI
cards and am now successfully installing OS on the machine. Thanks
again for shortening my day.

It has to be something simple, but I will be darned if I can remember.
We didn't have this problem installing Solaris 8 on this box. I have
looked for similar items in the Archives, and only found one item close
that summarized the question with another question, so I will ask mine
here.
We need to set up a U2 Creator to run an app that is certified for
Solaris 2.6 only. This particular machine has two internal 18 GB
drives target 0 and 1, and an internal Sun 4X CDROM drive, ID 6.
This machine used to be a NFS server running Solaris 8 (still has 8 on
the HDDS, until we can get Sol 6 installed, anyway).
When we insert the CDROM and type 'boot cdrom' at the OK> prompt, the
machine posts the system information and the disk it is loading from
then hangs at the 'spinning hash mark'. We have tried using an old
external Sun CDROM, and even tried typing in the path with no luck.
What am I not doing? Thanks for any information.
