Hi to all I have a sun Ultra 10 workstation with the following configuration
SUN ULTRA-10 Workstation
440 Mhz CPU
1024 MB RAM
40 GB HDD Seagate (Connected as Primary master)
FDD
Samsung DVD Writer (connected as Secondary master)
CABINET
SMPS
Sun keyboard and mouse
the command - probe-ide lists the drives connected properly
I inserted the solaris 10 installation dVD and at the OK prompt I issued the command boot cdrom
It reads the DVD, shows some messages on screen, Then the whole screen starts scrolling with junk characters just like a crash dump
the system reboots and I get these error messages -
"Bad magic number in disk label"
"Cannot open disk label package"
"Boot Device: net file and args"
"Timeout for Arp/Rarp packets"
I have download the ISO image from Sun's ftp server almsot 9 times, burnt it at various speeds including the slowest and the fastest, it still gives these errors.
I went to a nearby Sun authorised training center and tried the DVD there and it worked, I even took their DVD and also bought a DVD set from Sun online, even these do not work.
Any guesses what is the issue????
I am sure the DVDs are fine as they work on other Solaris machines of the same configuration.
I need to resolve this issue as soon as possible as I have to start studying for my L1 and L2 solaris exams.
Regards
