Thanks to all who replied, especially: Krister Bergman, Simon Crowther It seems that the (only?) version of Solaris 8 compatible with the SunFire V100 is Solaris 8 02/02. Original post below: ******************************************** Hello, gurus, I have a slight problem installing Solaris 8 10/00 on a Sunfire V100, and can't find anything in the archives. I first used an install server I had installed several Netra X1's with succesfully. I added the V100's mac address to the server with add_install_client. But when I boot from the net to begin the install, the V100 I'm installing hangs with a "2bb00" prompt. When trying to install with the CD's, it hangs with a "Can't load tod module". This reminds me of some problems in the versions of Solaris 8, or a problem with the network driver. However, what puzzles me is that the network interface is a dmfe, which is the same as the NetraX1's, and the Machine came preinstalled with Solaris 8 10/00 from what I could read from the docs. Right now, I'm installing it with Solaris 9 from the CD, and everything seems to go smoothly, but I'd really like to keep all of my NetraX1's and SunFire V100's with the same version of OS for uniformity and ease of maintenance reasons. I'm not the only one intervening on them, so I'd like to keep everything as simple and uniform as possible. -- Lost Knowledge Sets Back Civilization ________________________________________________________________ Etudiant: Wanadoo t'offre le Pack eXtense Haut Dibit soit 150,92 euros d'iconomies !
