I installed Solaris 11 11/11 in a Sun Ultra 20. Everything went fine until installing the desktop. Afterwards, I get kernel panics (and crash dumps) when using the supplied nividia driver. However, the nv driver doesn't cause panics. Unfortunately, the desktop won't run ok with the nv driver because it doesn't support the glx extension. I downloaded the driver from nvidia but cannot install it. The driver is packed with the old format of packages and the installation script gets confused. Any suggestion?

The kernel core file would also be really helpful if it is not too much trouble to find a host. The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log using the nv driver will also help identify the specific NVIDIA graphics hardware. However, the nv driver doesn't cause panics.

Instructions for manual installation of drivers from nvidia.com: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+x_win/NvidiaInstallation The panic message was a page fault related to Xorg. Unfortunately, I can't tell exactly because the system reboots immediately. I don't know how to extract the message and stack trace from the dump. Where can I find instructions documentation about this? I removed all the dumps from /var/crash (about 14 of them). However, I will recreate the crash to extract the information and also to upload the dump to a server. In the mean time, I'll try to install the driver from NVIDIA following the instructions you sent. Thanks, Blai ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Oracle Solaris 11 install trouble, NVIDIA
Following previous messages, to get Solaris Express 11 updated I had to run: pkg uninstall 'pkg://opensolaris.org/*' \ 'pkg://contrib.opensolaris.org/*' \ 'pkg://jucr.opensolaris.org/*' \ 'pkg://Multimedia/*' \ 'pkg://kdeips-dev/*' \ 'pkg://ips.enst.fr/*' This basically cleaned out all the troublesome packages. I am a little disappointed have had to remove KDE. Now after a successful update, trying to boot I get: /kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia: undefined symbol 'pm_destroy_components' warning: mod_load: cannot load module 'nvidia' (please note, this message may not be exact, as I wrote it down and typed in in after I booted into another environment) Basically it just locks up right there and doesn't proceed any further. I suppose it means I need to remove my latest nvidia driver that I had upgraded manually to. I guess it's going to get a little messy, since I now need to work on a non-booted boot environment now. Can anybody think of a simpler solution? Am I attacking this correctly? I'll get back to this on Sunday. Thanks, Paul ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
