Installing Solaris
The CPU board is designed to run with Solaris 8 2/02 or higher with the 64−bit kernel and
with Solaris 9. Pay attention to the guidelines in this section before and during Solaris
installation.
a
Note:
a
Solaris versions prior to version 8 2/2 are not supported. The CPU board runs
with 64−bit kernel only.
a
The following devices of the CPU board are not supported by the Solaris operating
system:
S Universe II PCI−to−VMEbus bridge
S On−board flash memory
S Temperature sensors, LEDs, timers and watchdog
S Intel 82540EM Ethernet device
S IDE device error handling
If you wish to use one of these devices, you need to install the Force Computers Solaris
Driver Package. Details will be given in the following sections.
a
If you want to use PS/2 keyboard and mouse, you have to customize the following
software groups during the Solaris installation:
S Developer system support
S End user system support
S Core system support
The customization consists of selecting "PS/2 keyboard and mouse device drivers (Root,
64 Bit) under "drivers for SME support (64 Bit)".
a
The remaining software groups do not require customization.
a
Note:
a
During installation, make sure that the 64−bit support is enabled.
a
If Solaris is already installed and you want to have PS/2 support afterwards, you have to
install the SUNWkmp2x for 64−bit package.
a
Note:
a
During the Solaris installation you may get the following Solaris error message:
"Could not reset the IDE core of SouthBridge". If this happens, try to install Solaris
from another CD−ROM drive or from a SCSI CDROM drive.
a
After the Solaris installation has finished, this Solaris error message can be avoided by
installing the Solaris Driver Package FRCcpu56pm.
