To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Re: update on my continuing experiment of running Solaris 10, x86, 32bit, on a Toshiba A-65 laptop, in a multiboot environment with XP.
Howdy,Installed Windows first then Solaris 10, worked for a while then crashed. Installed again using Partition Commander to create NTFS partition for Windows, Solaris 10 partition, and FAT32 buffer partition. Works better.
Current problems:1: Error msg on boot-up: Hostname “unknown”, then prompt “unknown console login” and system pauses for long time, before log-in screen comes up. I have attempted to fix this in SMC but have been unsuccessful thus far. Am able to rename “unknown” to a specified hostname temporarily in SMC but system reverts on re-boot. I would attribute this to user inexperience with Solaris set-up process but any advice on how to correct this without having to completely re-install would be most welcome. 2: No screen saver functionality. Files appear to be missing on this build of opensolaris 10. 3: Realtek97 audio. No Audio. Apparently no drivers loaded. If there is not already a Solaris driver this is something I would be interested in working on. 4: JDiskReport appears to be the only GUI tool available to check files with. JDR freezes up about midway through the scan and gives absolutely no information about anything. Does anyone use this thing? 5: No code completion pop-up boxes in Netbeans; can’t get code to compile correctly. 6. #pkgchk command generates huge amt. of error messages reporting checksum discrepancies in /usr/ directory. This experiment may be going a little south, I don’t know if I have a corrupt build and need to download another one or if these problems are fixable on this machine. I’ll keep hammering away at it and would really appreciate any advice.
