Yes, the download finished correctly. I haven't found any MD5 cheksum on the oracle's website so I couldn't check it up, but it looks to be correct (size, and firefox said it was correctly downloaded)
Then, I burned the DVD using CDBurnerXP (under Windows XP). Yeah I know, this is closed source software but the only DVD burner I have is on my GF's laptop.
Of course, I used the option "burn image on CD/DVD", and didn't directly burned the iso file on the DVD. At the end of the process, CDBurnerXP said the DVD was correctly burned.
Just in case, I'm going to burn another DVD with a very low speed. We never know.
So, when I try to boot the CD on my GF's laptop it doesn't boot at all. But maybe that is realated with the architecture? My GF's laptop is a i386 proc and the CD I've burned is for sparc. Do you think it should boot up?
Also, just in case, I've burned another DVD with the same ISO file. This time I burned at the slowest speed (4x) and asked for a check up at the end of the process. Apparently, no error have been detected and CDBurnerXP said that the burning process went OK.
I have tried again to boot it up on the Sun Blade 1500, here is the output
And again, I've tried to boot that newly burned DVD on my GF's laptop but nothing boots up. Architecture problem?
When I put the DVD in the drive and look at it in Windows, here's what I see (D means directory)
DVD Name is "SOL_10_811_SPARC"
Any idea?
Thanks again for all time spend on my problem,
Regards.
It looks like the DVD has been burnt OK - there is no chance that you will be able to boot the laptop from it - the x86 version would be fine but SPARC just won't work.
From memory the sun blade 1500 will run on all solaris versions up to Solaris 10 8/11 which seems to be what you have, I'll have to have a little think about this.
No problem at all, take your time and enjoy your lunch .
Because I have spare CDs/DVDs I have downloaded Solaris 11 text install (525 Mb so fits on a CD). I know Cadds5 won't work on it, but I may test it just to see if I'm able to boot up from CD and maybe test the installation see if the hard drive labels problems I had is still here.
If you boot up your (x86) laptop and insert the DVD, you should be able to see the files on it. That's all. As has already been stated, you won't be able to boot from it.
You should try to boot into single user first.
Leaving off the -s will try to take you into the installer which will look around the box more. Booting single user is simpler. If booting single user doesn't work, nothing will.
If booting single user fails I'd be inclined to open the box and reseat the DVD drive cables; ribbon cable (both ends) and PSU cable. Next, perhaps swap the DVD drive for another one.
