discovering additional network configurations

Can someone help me. While trying to install solaris 10 in my ultra 80. I keep getting a hangup while discovering additional network configurations. How can I disable this so it doesnt happen anymore.

though perhaps not what you're looking for, if you remove all additional network cards from your U80 when you install, leaving just the onboard hme, you should be able to get rid of this issue - then go back and after the base install is done, put the cards back in and reconfigure.

I believe there's a software way to do this too, just haven't found it yet, but I'll keep searching

If you're still hanging on the hme0 interface, then you may have a network issue or something more interesting - jeff

Jeff,That is all i have on the box itself. Just the hme. How can I go about formatting the 2 hard drives. The box does not have admin rights. I formatted the 2 hard drives using a windows server. Just deleted all data. Any idea in how to recover the system.

Jeff,It booted past the hang up. But does not allow me to install the software. I was able to format the drive. I was able to get to single user mode. What should I do next. How can I start the software from single user mode.

i might not be following at all, but if its hanging during the install process you might consider re-burning the CD's (if it was a download you are installing from)

During my original install, it would hang at verious places on each and every cd. So i tried several times re-downloading and re-burning the discs and found that it wasnt the download file that was bad, but when i burned my disc at 52x it wouldnt work.

So I tested it one more time, at that point on about my 12th cd (all others garbage) at 4x and it worked.

So when i finially got to CD2, i thought maybe only the 1st CD was bad and tried my original CD2 (burnt at 52x) and it did the same thing, hung on install.

So again i burn the other CDs at 4x and reinstalled again and all worked fine.

Anytime I run the comman from ok boot cdrom -vs it takes me all the way to # single user mode. Would you know the command to start the install. I have tried various and goes back into hanging up discovering additional network configurations. I burned the cd at x8. I will try at x4 and see what happens.

boot cdrom -vs is supposed to take you to a functional environment,

into single-user mode, and do so in a verbose fashion.

That is exactly what the command does. Thus it's functioning properly.

To start your OS installation, just boot to the cdrom.

OK boot cdrom <enter>

If you want it to do so in a verbose fashion, use the -v command switch.

... just do not use the letter "s" in the command and it will start the install.

During this entire discussion, you never mentioned whether you even tried

to probe the SCSI bus to see whether the drives were recognized by OBP.

If OBP doesn't see them, then your system will fail back to trying to discover

a boot device on the network ( along any network pathway that could possibly exist ).

I have don the probe-scsi all command and it does find my 2 harddrives and cdrom. once it boots off the boot cdrom -vs it takes me to the # in singel user mode. I have tried the command boot cdrom -v and still without the "s" in it. System hangs at discovering additional network configurations. Let me ask you this. What command can I invoke at the # single user mode to start the boot process?

Your "wiping" of the disks in that MS Windoze system may have mucked up the drives.

OK boot cdrom -s

then format the drives, including a proper label

start that formatting process with

# format -e

starting any format process will let you know whether Solaris sees tham as viable devices.
