ProLiant ML370 G3 and SOLARIS 9

[Marc Poljak]

Hi,

I need to install Solaris 9 on an new HP ProLiant ML370 G3 with a Smart Array 641 RAID-Controller. BIOS and Firmware is uptodate (SmartStart CD Release 6.40).

I obtained a new driver for the 641-Controller for Solaris 9 and it can be added during setup.

In the first phase of Solaris setup I get the following warnings:

Resource Conflict - both devices are added
NON-ACPI device: PNP0303
Port: 60,64; IRQ:1
ACPI-Device: PNP 0A00
Port:60,64,40B,4D6

NON-ACPI device: PNP 0A00
Port: 60,64,40b,4D6
ACPI device: PNP0200
Port: 40B, 4D6; DMA:7

After I choose "Interactive Installation" the kernel boots and then setup hangs...

Do you have any idea?

with kind regards,

Marc

I have the same problem installing Solaris 9 on a new Proliant ML350 G3.

Did you find a solution to you problem ?

Marc:

First, are you using the Solaris 9 DU disk with your install?

You need this for the correct driver on Solaris.

Second, did you select Solaris as the O/S in the RBSU?

Third, did you set full table mapped in the APIC Table (Under the Advanced tab in the RBSU)

Let me know what you find? -john
