Hello, I have a faulty DVD on a T2000 (Niagra) machine; When I try to boot an installation solaris media DVD with this DVD I get a kernel panic with the following messages on console: ... ... uata: atapi_reset_drive uata: ata_timeout_func uata: ghd_timer_newstate uata: ghd_timer_poll uata: ghd_timeout_softirq ... ...
During normal operation of the T2000 I see messages about "spurious interrupts from ino 0x4" which are probably cause by this faulty DVD and generally the machine works slow and in some circumstances reboots. I want to disable this DVD to make sure wheter these messages about "spurious interrupts" are from it. So I disconnected the DVD cable. Then try to reboot. I got an error : cannot locate boot device. printenv from the OBP (ok> prompt) does **NOT** show the DVD. I also tried "setenv boot-device disk" in OBP (ok prompt) and again rebooted and got the same "cannot locate boot device.". So: my question is: is there a way to disconnect a DVD from T2000 a and reboot succesfully ? Another question is : is it safe to remove the uata driver from the boot process ? (By adding : "exclude uata" to /etc/system? ) Regards, David This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
