Hi list,
I seem to be unable to install on a XP host a Solaris 9 guest.
Here's my command line:
qemu.exe -L . -m 256 -isa -localtime -hda s9.img -cdrom sol-9-u7-install-x86.iso
-boot d
where s9.img is a zeroed 4Gb file. Size doesn't change the behaviour.
"-pci" doesn't help, due to pci spurious reset
"-isa" does help, but the X11 server dies a few clicks later and leaves me
the following text:
(EE) screenInfo.numScreens = 1
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969
(EE) PreInit done
After more investigations, it does seem the fdisk was successful, but the
server XFree doesn't seem to hold long enough to complete the setup.
Anyone saw this before ?
Rgds,
Zitu

Hi,
did you already try the same procedure for cd_sfw_1_of_2 ?
You don't actually need the so called Install CD.
Booting from cd_sfw_1_of_2 will start SunInstall instead of WebStartInstall.
What guest display drviver/settings did you use in kdmconfig.
You have several possible options:
Sun_CirrusLogic_544x
SunVESA
XF86_CirrusLogic (doesn't work for me [Sol9_04/04 gues on Sol10_60 and
Sol9_04/04 hosts)
XF86_VESA.
What is your hosts display setting?

No, not yet. Thanks for hinting I can throw the first CD :)

The last one. Display settings left to default.
Thx,

You may also perform the installation in command line (text) mode.
Selecting SKIP in kdmconfig should normally result in a cli install.
Then - after having completed the install - try using several
combinations of display settings.
Try again and again until you're happy.

Maybe http://jan.exss.de/en/vms_install_ia2.html is of interest to you.
As I said:
"After skipping the video test (F4) the installation will continue in
text mode with a German keyboard layout. Note: this is just a
recommendation. If you want, you may give the VGA mode a try. Have fun!"
