Solaris 10U5 has issues with PIII systems, check the group archives. -- Ian Collins.

A bug with S10U5 on Pentium III systems. You need to invoke kmdb at boot and patch the system... Select the appropriate grub entry and type 'e' to edit it. Select the kernel line and type 'e' to edit it. Append -kd to cause kmdb to load and take control and hit return. Type 'b' to boot. kmdb will take over control when it loads. Issue the command "cmi_no_init/W1" to kmdb to patch cmi_no_init to a 1. Issue the command ":c" to kmdb to continue running Solaris. You should now be able to install the system. You will need to do the same again to boot the installed system for the first time. When it's booted, add the following line to /etc/system: set cpu\.generic:gcpu_legacy_cpu_support=1 and recreate the boot archive (not sure if necessary, but harmless): bootadm update-archive -f It should work OK then on. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
