Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 8 server and Jumpstarting 2.6 clients Post 78128 by rambo15 on Friday 15th of July 2005 04:15:55 PM

More info on Jumpstarting the Solaris 2.6 clients from a Solaris 8 server.

OK:
I have verified that the client is indeed booting up from the Solaris 2.6 partition of the Solaris 8 Jumpstart server. The screen displays the following:
ecc-34
whoami: no domain name
root server: Batjumper-1
root directory: /jumpstart/Sol2.6/Solaris_2.6/Tools/Boot

The kernel gets loaded and displays:

SunOS Release 5.6 Version 105181-19 Generic [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0] Copyright (c) 1983-1997, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
whoami: no domain name

At this point it should start to configure the devices, but instead panics with the following error: Panic CPU Priviledge Bus Error.

The interesting thing about this, is that the same systems boot and install just fine as Solaris 8 clients. This leads me to believe that its a problem with Solaris 2.6 and the hardware configuration which is as follows:
Cpu motherboard is a SparcEngine-IIi 440MHz
Openboot Prom 3.10.12
POST: 1.11.0
Scsi Target 0 Seagate ST336607LC 35GB removable.
Scsi target 5 WSC HYDRA FS-24 6.00 SCSI Floppy.
Scsi target 6 Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M17111005.

The system also has an Antares Microsystem Audio card installed.
Both the Antares and WSC SCSI floppy come with their software in the form of Sun packages.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
