Configuration: 2 disks, first used only by Vista, 2nd has a partition in which I want to install Solaris followed by the primary Vista boot partition.
Format fdisk sees the partitions fine. Format partition sees a valid Solaris partition table, with slice 2 being the whole partition as expected. Install fails: <OM Dec 20 00:32:19> Timezone setting will be TZ=UTC <OM Dec 20 00:32:19> Set timezone <TDDM_E Dec 20 00:32:19> ddm_drive_get_name(): Can't get alias name, err=9 <OM Dec 20 00:32:19> System reports enough physical memory for installation, swap is optional <TDDM_E Dec 20 00:32:22> ddm_drive_get_btype():Can't get DM_BUS assoc. w/ DM_DRIVE, err=22 <TDDM_E Dec 20 00:32:25> ddm_drive_get_btype():Can't get DM_BUS assoc. w/ DM_DRIVE, err=22 <TDDM_E Dec 20 00:32:28> ddm_drive_get_btype():Can't get DM_BUS assoc. w/ DM_DRIVE, err=22 <TDDM_E Dec 20 00:32:31> ddm_drive_get_btype():Can't get DM_BUS assoc. w/ DM_DRIVE, err=22 <OM Dec 20 00:35:12> disk partition info not changed <OM Dec 20 05:35:20> Timezone setting will be TZ=US/Eastern <OM Dec 20 05:35:20> Set timezone <OM Dec 20 05:35:33> Disk was changed <OM Dec 20 05:35:33> Disk contains valid Solaris partition <OM Dec 20 05:35:33> whole_disk = 0 <OM Dec 20 05:35:33> diskname set = c6d0 <OM Dec 20 05:35:33> Set fdisk attrs <TIDM_E Dec 20 05:35:33> fdisk: fdisk -n -F failed.

That is surely not the case. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
