Re: [osol-discuss] What CPU run 64 bit kernel OpenSolaris
What I have done is boot a Intel Core 2 (running Windows) off the latest OpenSolaris B67 x86 and entered the Singe User Shell straight away. # isainfo -v 32-bit i386 applications Now is this telling me the the computer can not run 64bit or is just because the install kernel is 32bit it want report if it can run 64bit. But think about it: you booted off of the install media. And install media must support booting on both 32- and 64-bit. What is the lowest common denominator in that case? 32-bit.

Re: [osol-discuss] What CPU run 64 bit kernel OpenSolaris
Now is this telling me the the computer can not run 64bit or is just because the install kernel is 32bit it want report if it can run 64bit. optisa `isalist` will report the optimal ISA for the target ARCH it is running on. However, I doubt these commands are available on the install image. If you get back amd64 on the i86pc platform, then your hardware is 64-bit capable.

Re: [osol-discuss] Changing a host name
Boyd Adamson wrote: Carlton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: All I want to do is change the host name on my laptop. Numerous searches turn up to simply change the /etc/host file, but it is read only and won't accept the change. The man pages say not to use sysidconfig manually, so I don't know if it can be done. The *right* way is to use sys-unconfig to re-configure the net settings on your box. For some purposes that's a little over the top though. To change the hostname without sys-unconfig there are at least 3 files you need to edit: /etc/inet/hosts /etc/nodename /etc/hostname.* (where * is the name of your interface) If you're on Solaris (rather than an OpenSolaris build) then you need to add /etc/inet/ipnodes to that list. Note that some other apps use the name of the host for other things and may need updating. Some of those files are marked read-only by default. If you're root and using vi you can write to them with :w! otherwise use chmod. HTH Boyd What about the GUI from the GNOME menu (as root) Administration - Network, and then General Settings (second tab), and just change the hostname there and reboot (this is a 3 month old build). I didn't read this anywhere, but it *seemed* to work. Any reason why this wasn't a good idea? Patrick ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] Wireless on SPARC?
Some two years ago ``shambles'' asked: Does anyone know whether I will ever (or possibly when I might) be able to get my Ultra 60 to speak wireless? I know that Bob Palowoda asked some time ago, but is there any update please? Several responses suggested alternatives, then the thread seems to have petered out. In the interim, has anyone succeeded in doing this? I have an Ultra60 running Solaris 9, a Linksys WMP54G (version 4) not doing anything, a wificonfig package which does not execute, and a ral driver which does not attach. Does anyone know how to start this car? Please note that my question is not whether to do this, but how. Any help is much appreciated. Sincerely, Ian H.

[osol-discuss] Renaming local zone hostname
The procedure for renaming a Solaris 10 local zone's hostname is not well documented. By trial and error, Sun support and I worked out the following. When setting up a new local zone, unsetenv TMPDIR or a number of key packages will fail to install in the new zone. hostname newHostName and make sure /etc/nodename, /etc/inet/hosts, and /etc/inet/ipnodes have the appropriate entries for the new hostname. zlogin -C newZone to allow sysIDtool to complete. # ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N Generating public/private rsa key pair.

[osol-discuss] Debugging headless hang
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get OpenSolaris b64 running on an Asus Terminator C3 (which uses a Via C3 processor). I was able to install OpenSolaris, grab the appropriate ethernet drivers from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/, and get everything set up. However, when I went to run it sans PS2 keyboard, the machine hung during boot. The first thing I did was add -v to the kernel boot arguments for GRUB; the last line I get on the console during startup this way is a message about successfully loading uhci1. (When the keyboard is plugged in with the -v boot option, I see uhci2 and uhci3 scroll by.) This lead me to believe the USB support was the problem. I tried disabling the USB support in the BIOS (initially, just disabling legacy USB support, and eventually disabling USB entirely), only to have OpenSolaris hang at the same point in the boot process, sans uhci modules loading. After this, I figured I'd try setting up the kernel debugger with a watchdog timer, and take a look at the callstack to at least give me a wild guess as to what's wrong. I changed the GRUB menu.lst kernel parameters to -kdv, and entered the following into the debugger: moddebug/W 0x8000 snooping/W 0x1 :c And then I hit enter and pulled the keyboard plug out as quickly as I can. Sometimes it boots successfully (I didn't unplug the keyboard fast enough) and sometimes it hangs at the same spot, but the watchdog timer never seems to kick in. I've tweaked the snoop_interval as well, but even waiting an hour hasn't yielded a debug break. Plugging in the keyboard at this point does nothing - I can't for the life of me get into the debugger while it's hung! Does anyone have any better suggestions on how to run this machine without a keyboard physically attached? I feel like I've got a chicken-and-egg problem, because I can't actually type when the problem occurs.

[osol-discuss] inetmenu and ath driver help - please
I got the Ath driver installed as well as the wificonfig and wpa_daemon. I also installed inetmenu but I am having some rather odd connection issues. when I run inetmenu, I can see two wirless networks: mine (a belkin wep/wpa encrypted network) and my neighbors (an unsecure network) Before I reinstalled Solaris, I was able to connect to my belkin router just fine, dhcp and all, it was using WEP encrypt. But now that I have reinstalled, I can connect to only my neighbors wireless router using dhcp. I dont know why or what to do/check. Ive tried changing my encryption to WPA and going the wificonfig route to connecting with no joy. Ive also tried making my router unsecure, and still no joy. Anyone have any suggestions for an assist? Thanks. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
