The following issues apply to a Sun Ultra 27 workstation running a Linux OS:
SUSE-Specific Issues:
Red Hat and General Linux-Related Issues:
Automount Might Cause a Permission Problem When install.sh is Executed
Error Message Appears in Red Hat 5.1 and 5.2 Operating System
System Fails to Perform PXE Installation of Linux Operating Systems
Older Versions of Linux Operating Systems Do Not Support AHCI
Open a terminal and run nvidial-xconfig -a and then restart X-server.
Download and install compat-libstdc++-5.0.7–121.1x86.rpm before installing LSI MSM RAID Manager.
Download and update the latest kernel from the Novell website at:
The following message will appear when launching Firefox:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading share libraries: libasound.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 |
There is a shared library error with the RealTek audio driver and the preinstalled Firefox web browser.
Download and install the latest version of Firefox at:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
For Linux operating systems, the HAL Device Manager shows Unknown for CPU information.
This issue is under investigation.
For Linux operating systems, executing install.sh might cause a permission error message.
Manually mount the Tools and Drivers DVD using the following commands:
# init 3 (login as root)
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
# /mnt/drivers/linux/OS/install.sh
where OS is either red_hat or suse
Current released versions of Linux operating systems do not have support for RAID through the on-board ICH10R controller, but RAID is supported through the LSI3041E HBA.
The following error messages might appear in dmesg and /var/log/messages:
kernel: ata2: spurious interrupt (irq_stat 0x4 active_tag -84148995 sactive 0x3)
This issue is under investigation.
The system can successfully PXE boot from the on-board Intel 82567LM-2 NIC, but Red Hat and SUSE installation setups fail to detect the NIC. Current released versions of Red Hat and SUSE do not support the Intel 82567LM-2 NIC.
Please wait until RHEL 4.8, RHEL 5.3, SLED10 SP3, and SLED 11 for built-in 82567LM-2 Ethernet support or perform the following workaround.
Install a PCI/PCIe NIC card, and then PXE install from the new NIC.
-or-
Do a CD/DVD installation, and then run the following command to install all (graphics, NIC, audio) drivers:
tools_and_drivers/drivers/linux/OS/install.sh
where tools_and_drivers is the location of the Tools and Drivers DVD, and OS is the directory of the operating system (either red_hat or suse).
The operating system installation setup does not detect the hard drive or CD/DVD media. You will have to configure SATA as IDE in the system BIOS to work around this issue.
