Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 4:58 pm Post subject: [solved] Problems during initial untar Input/out |
|
|
Seagate ST39111A (9.1GB) Sun Ultra-5
midway though my stage-3 untar (stage3-sparc64-2006.0.tar.bz2 ) , the tar 'locks' up, and eventually I get
Code: |
Can't create output file 'blah'.. Input/output error
|
I've done about a dozen or so installs on x86, and I'm guessing here maybe this is just bad hardware?
However... I've had Solaris 8 running just fine on this box for about 3 years... I finally decided to scrap it, and put gentoo on it to match everything else I have..
After the problem, I also can't access /dev/hda until I power cycle the box??? It seems to loose it during the untar...
I did make the mistake of deleting the /dev/hda3 Sun partitiion when I first started, but... did go though the hand book, and re-instate it..
Does someone have any ideas? maybe a OBP setting? or... something? I'm at a loss, and don't have another SATA drive to test with...
Thanks!

IDE DMA is broken on the chipset onboard U5/10 machines.
Just disable DMA when booting. _________________ Gustavo Zacarias

I get to about the same point as I did before in the untar.. and...
Code: |
./usr/lib/gcc/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.5/include/g++-v3/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/bits/stdc++.h.gch/O0g

./usr/lib/gcc/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.5/include/g++-v3/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/bits/stdc++.h.gch/O0g

Is it possible that I don't have the /dev/hda3 Sunlable partition setup correctly? |

I'd say its possible...
I had a hell of a time with a pair of 40GB ATA133 drives I was trying to use in my U10, I never managed to get the sun disk setup to work properly, I would suggest you start the solaris install, let that sort the disk setup out, and then reboot and start the Gentoo install (without removing the 3rd partition).
Hope that helps. _________________ Toady

ok... had a chance to check it today.... now... there is NO /dev/hda ...
k... so .. .bad drive.. guess it was just a matter of time on the system while it was running solaris...
I'll try to get another sata drive for this puppy, and give it another shot... meanwhile... I'll mark this one as solved..
Thanks!!!
btw... funny, system boots with the Live CD, but now there is this odd clicking noise...hmmmmmm...naaaa.. COULDN'T be a bad drive...
