 Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2004 10:05 am Post subject: Installation fails on my Ultra2 |
 |
|
Hi,
i have an ultra2 enterprise on which i wanted to install the 2004.0
i burnt the livecd (md5 is ok) and booted it.
First problem, it couldn't mount the cdrom and dropped me to the busybox shell. I performed:
$ mount /newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /newroot/mnt/cdrom
$ ./linuxrc doscsi nodhcp
I then got the initrd starting up again.
On step 6a it tries to umount several things but fails. Here are the messages:
mount: /tmp/.initrd/dev: not mounted
COULD NOT UMOUNT /tmp/.initrd/dev !!!
UMOUNTING /tmp/.initrd: device is busy
UMOUNT of /tmp/.initrd FAILED!!!
BLKFLSBUF: Device or ressource busy
And then the most annoying thing:
INIT: starting /sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs cdroot doscsi nodhcp
Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu
At this point i got a shell but don't have much working. I can't do ifconfig because /proc isn't mounted, etc.
Plz help me get rid of Solaris 
Thanks in advance for the help

| Some Sun cdrom drives have problems reading cdroms burnt at fast speeds, try using a CD-R burnt at say 2x. If you still have problems booting off of the cd you could also try netbooting. |

the cdrom booted but the script failed and dropped me to a shell "to fix my shit" (that's the error message from the script ) |

| Is your CDROM connected via the onboard SCSI controller or an addtional SBUS SCSI controller? Also the doscsi and nodhcp arguments are only valid for x86/amd64 |
