I am trying to get an old Ultra 45 to boot and it is stuck in a loop. I cannot get anything to come up on a monitor, so when I hook up a serial connection to the TTYa interface I see the following output:
It just keeps repeating this over and over, any ideas of what the issue is ? Thanks.

Hello all! I am praying someone can help me. I have been trying to install dual nics on my FreeBSD box. In my attempts I edited my RC.CONF file. I must have editing something wrong, because during the boot sequence, my machine gets through bringing up most of the services then it stops and gets... (5 Replies)
I just was given an Ultra 60 that I'm trying to get started so that I can re-load the system with Solaris 10. I can't seem to get the system to boot past the initial memory check. I've tried to do an Stop-A to get to the eeprom, but can't do that. My next step is to try to send a break from the... (0 Replies)
Hi All,
Any idea why i'm having this warning during boot:
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@1,0 (dad1):
corrupt label - wrong magic number
This happens after I added another ide HD and reinstall it from solaris 10 to solaris 8.
Thanks in advance. (7 Replies)
Hi all.
I am seeing in one of our less-used servers that it crashed and now won't restart. I get the message 'continue with normal startup or boot into maintenance mode'.
I go into maintenance and run fsck on /usr0 (mentioned in error at restart) it then reboots but goes right back to... (3 Replies)
Folks;
My SUN Ultra 10 5.9 won't boot. It only stops after counting the memory on the white screen then hangs there with nothing. even the power button won't take it down from there, i had to unplug it then re-plug it again.
i inserted a disk with Solaris 9 iso trying to rebuild it but nothing... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I just got a new Ultra 5 and replaced the CD-ROM with an LG DVD-ROM (approved and listed in Sun HCL). Got the DVD-ROM installed to install Solaris 10. Im just learning and new to Solaris installation.
When I insert a Solaris 10 DVD I see that it gets mounted and File Manager opens and... (8 Replies)
HI everyone,
Nice to meet you all.
I recently rebooted Slackware 12.1 running on a Dell PowerEdge 2400. after 240 days of continuous run-time, and discovered it gets stuck in a sbin/agetty loop. We were rebooting because trying to mount root in webmin broke a bunch of things. Couldn't even get... (3 Replies)
Hi all,
I've got a Sun ultra 30 workstation. the Nvram battery died so I replaced it. I reprogrammed the mac address using the mlpl command all that so it booted without error. But for some reason I was trying to boot via the network. So I did a STOP A and boot disk1 which is the alias for my SCSI... (2 Replies)
Hi all,
I've just replaced the eprom battery on my Sun Ultra-30 and having boot issues. For some reason its trying to boot off the network instead of the DISK1. Howe can I change it so the open boot does not default to the boot device: NET

isp
ISP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ISP(4)NAME
isp -- Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
SYNOPSIS
isp* at pci? dev? function? (PCI)
isp* at sbus? slot ? offset ? (SBus)
scsibus* at isp?
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices.
SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280),
Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and uses Class 3 connections only. Support is available for Public and Pri-
vate loops. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging).
CONFIGURATION
An optional flags 0x80 appended to the above isp* declarations will disable the download of driver firmware, which means you use whatever
firmware is running on the card. If no firmware is running on the card, the driver cannot operate the card.
An optional flags 0x40 appended to the above isp* declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option) will keep the driver from
looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where it is inconvenient to
change NVRAM settings on the card).

The isp driver was written by Matthew Jacob for NASA/Ames Research Center.
BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands very gracefully.
Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel firmware to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In
this case you'll see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel con-
nection, or otherwise cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence) - this will kick the firmware into getting unstuck.
