Sound missing from Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.3

Sound missing from Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.3

Post by Rob Hin » Wed, 08 Feb 1995 07:02:10



I recently did a complete install of Solaris 2.3 on a
Sparc 5.  I noticed that I am not able to get any sound
out of the machine.  The problem seems to be that the
audio drivers are missing.

   - Has anyone had this problem before?

   - Are there any patches available to fix this problem?

   - Are there any other solutions?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I had this problem too.

Was fixed by installing the maintenance supplement of patches delivered with 2.3

Everybody who installs the wrong version of the OS has this problem.

There may be patches that can be applied to earlier versions of SunOS 5.3,
but the SS5 was supposed to use Edition II, and I think the patches were
also included in the 5/94 edition.

1. Locked out of a Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.3

Trouble with a Sun Sparc20 running Solaris 2.3

I was adding an external drive to a Sun and I mucked up the vfstab file.
When I rebooted it simply started rebooting itself saying it couldn't
perform
fsck on the root.  I was able to get out that using ^C and I was
eventually
able to get a command line, but it wouldn't let me write to the root file
system
so I can't update vfstab.  Is there anyway to get around this and regain
write access.  I'm running as su so I don't and the premissions are set
correctly, so there is something else blocking me from writing.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Particularly if you could tell me if the system is really truely hosed
beyond repare.  

OH, also it has no disk drives or CDRom, but it is connected to a
network.

Thanks in advance.
