Video problems with Sun 450, PGX32 Video Adapter and Solaris 2.6

Post by Gre » Wed, 18 Sep 2002 03:57:14



I have several Sun 450 servers with PGX32 Video Adapters running
Solaris 2.8 without problems.

I need to load Solaris 2.6 on one of the units, but when I start the
installation, the video goes blank and nothing else happens....

I have tried different monitors with the same results.

Has anyone run across this problem?  Does anyone have any possible
solutions?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

There is a Raptor PGX video driver CD for that card.
Email me directly if you need more info.  I am at home
currently, but can check exactly what the CD has on it
when I go into the office if you need it.

1. Installing Solaris 450 on a Sun 450 - help!

Hi all,

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a Sun 450 for the second time. The
first time I succeeded but while applying patches the system crashed on me:

Applying patches
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Applying 113886-32...done
Applying 113887-32...failed (Exit code 5)
Applying 116298-17...failed (Exit code 5)
Applying 118553-04...done (reboot required)
Applying 118666-04...failed (Exit code 5)
Applying 118667-04...done
Applying 119578-09... CRASH!

The filesystem was corrupt and every file on the system disk was in the
lost+found directory.

Now I try to reinstall the system from CDROM with a charavter console but
again and again I bump into an error after filling in all the screens:
Preparing system for Solaris install

ERROR: Could not reinitialize system state

mkdir: "/a/var/sadm/launcher": Read-only file system

Could not reinitialize system state

I need help on this, nothing to be found on Google or on the sun.com site.

Greets,

Peter
