Solaris

Hey gull04

I have been tempted too to be honest. I'm now reaching 72% of the installation process.

I will see if I still have troubles with network when the system is installed/started (during the pre-installation, I selected DHCP as this is what I use). If I do, be sure I'll come back here to bother you (I'll come back here anyway to let you know what's going on).

Best regards,

Hi firstpost,

It's always good to get feedback, good or bad - it's all feedback. I'll keep watching the thread to see how you get on.

Regards

This just demonstrates the power of a damned good forum!!!

I've just been reviewing this thread and...............

is exactly what I'd expect to see on an installation. This is not an error.

Hi guys, me again .

So, got a good news. Solaris 10 has been installed properly reaching 100% without any warnings. After reboot, I was really surprised to see I had network connexion. Opened a browser and was immediately able to surf the internet.

I know I'm picky, but I don't get it. At the beginning with that computer, when network cable was plugged I had warnings in OpenBios saying it couldn't get an IP. And after Solaris installation, I don't have these warnings anymore during the OpenBios process.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter as the SunBlade 1500 is now working properly with Solaris. I can definitely thank you for that .

I am very surprised by this forum. Its community is amazing. Only on this post, we reached 5 pages in 2 days (filled with only interesting/helping posts) , this is crazy.

I really like this forum. I think I'll try to come here more often. I'm usually helping as well on many french forums (Network admin, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu), I'll try my best to help here as well if my English doesn't sucks too much and if I can (because I have to admit after reading many posts that you're all damned good with very good knowledge, better than mine), but I can at least read posts and learn from them.

OK, good to know. I was expecting to have troubles later but seems to work fine.

To finish, thanks again to all of you for your very quick help.

ps : is there a way to mark a post as solved? I'm now editing firstpost to add it in the title.
/edit
Ok, can edit the title but doesn't show in thread's list

I believe the default method uses BOOTP rather than DHCP. The errors were only related to OpenBoot's boot net attempt.

Hi firstpost,

Glad that the whole thing came together for you, thanks for bringing us all up to date.
