Solaris 8 (Intel Platform Edition) 1/01 Release Notes Update

Installation Bugs That Occur During a Solaris Web Start 3.0 Installation

cpio Error Messages Occur When Booting From IA Boot Partition (4327051)

If you use the Solaris 8 1/01 Installation CD, the following error messages are recorded in the /var/sadm/system/logs/cd0_install.log file.


cpio: Cannot chown() "/tmp/x86_boot/solaris", errno 22, Invalid argument
cpio: Error during chown() of "/tmp/x86_boot/solaris/boot.bin", errno 22, Invalid argument
cpio: Cannot chown() "/tmp/x86_boot/solaris/boot.bin", errno 22, Invalid argument

These messages indicate that Web Start 3.0 on the Solaris 8 1/01 Installation CD cannot change the ownership of the files needed to boot from the IA boot partition. Because the IA boot partition is a PCFS file system and does not support the chown command, the cpio errors occur.

Workaround: Ignore the error messages.
