[ug-bosug] reg Solaris Build 70 installation issues

[C.M]

Dear US-BOSUG, 

Here is a list of issues we face with solaris Build 70 installation.
Looking forward for your kind assistance!


                 Pre installation issues  snv_70       
 
 
 
   Our  lab machines have only  512 MB physical memory and Solaris Express  edition or Solaris interactive mode or even the Desktop session  doesn’t work with 512mb.
Most of the college machines comes  with physical memory up to 512 only , in that case the installation  becomes difficult unless the user chooses the Solaris Interactive  CONSOLE SESSION to proceed with the installation.
 
  
 
 
     Our  Lab Machines configuration is 
Intel 945 Board with dual core  processor 2.8 ghz , with 512 MB physical memory
We tried to  install the OS in  Solaris interactive Text (Console session) 
It  comes up with 
Setting  up Java. Please wait
 
and  the installation freezes.
 
 
     This  is known issue  which we have come across in many of the previous  builds

It comes up with
?  attempting to configure interface e1000g0 and  then it says
skipped  interface e1000g0?
 
  Build 70 is still not able to automatically configure the network card.
Every time we issue the plumb command to configure it.
 
 
 Post installation issues  snv_70       
  The following Errors are display every time we boot the Solaris build 70 Machines

 
 
 
        This is  known issue  which we have come across in many of the previous  builds and we have posted it across the community several months  before and we are yet to receive a solution for this  issue.

     syslogd  : line 45 warning: localhost could not be resolved.

  [date,time] [hostname] sendmail[494] My unqualified hostname

                                   ( localhost unknown)  sleeping for retry
 
  

 
 
     If  you restart the os with out rebooting it properly it comes up with  
Warning : Error reading Master 
Warning : ufs log for  /changed state to Error
Warning : please unmount(1M) / and run  fsck(1M)
Warning : exec(/sbin/init) failed with errno 5.
(unix:   Could not start init)
Press any key to reboot..   
 
        This warning repeats even if you reboot the machine and the only way to get rid of this is by login through Solaris failsafe mode..( Previously this was not the case) In the Previous solaris builds, we have tried many system resets still the os never gets into these warning traps.


Thanks and  Regards,
