Is anyone using these old SysKonnect devices?

Is anyone using these old SysKonnect devices?  I think they are the sk98sol 
and skge driver devices.

The number pairs are the PCI IDs of the devices.

Standard prompts missing from newer Solaris releases?

My son went to install Solaris 10 (x86) release 5/08, and as far as
I can tell, he was never prompted for things like NIS vs NIS+, IP
address, subnet, DNS server... Is all of this stuff gone, or did
he skip something somewhere?

Sounds like he answered no to one of the first questions - is the
machine networked.

-OR- the machine is actually not networked -(loose cable cnooect?)-

Re: Standard prompts missing from newer Solaris releases?

Would not recognizing the built-in NIC on the Asus M2A-VM
also cause this problem?

[Fwd: Updated Firefox 3.0 for Solaris 10 are available]


-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [desktop-discuss] Firefox 3.0 for Solaris 10 are available
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:51:23 +0800
From: Alfred Peng <Alfred.Peng <at> Sun.COM>
To: OpenSolaris Desktop Discuss <desktop-discuss <at> opensolaris.org>

Hi guys,

Thanks all for the feedback. The Firefox 3.0 contributed builds for
Solaris 10 have been uploaded to the Mozilla ftp server:
pkgadd:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/
tarball:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_tarball/

There are some changes to these builds to compare with the previous:
1. Add "--enable-official-branding" to the build option. Now it's
Firefox, not Minefield.
2. Update the font to make Firefox 3.0 consistent with Firefox 2.0 on
Solaris 10.
3. Enable jemalloc developed by Ginn:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422055. It'll decrease the
memory footprint for Firefox 3.0.
4. Add "--with-system-jpeg" which should fix the crash issue related to
jpeg images.
5. Update the startup script to store the configure files in
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox. Now the tarball builds can run on a read-only
directory.

devfsadm taking too long

Guys,

After patching a v20z with the recommended/security stuff, I've got a
weird behaviour.

The volfs service keeps getting on maintenance, with no error whatsoever
in the logs.

What seems to happen is that the startup method first does a devfsadm,
and now, it takes too long, and so gets detected as faulty by SMF, then
restarted, then maintenance.

# svcs -xv
svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default (Volume Management filesystem)
 State: maintenance since Thu Jul 03 16:48:59 2008
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last died on Killed (9).
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
   See: man -M /usr/man -s 7FS volfs
   See: /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-volfs:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

However, it does work - just very slowly:

# timex devfsadm -i vol

real       35.48
user        0.00
sys         0.00

When I do a truss, the pause always occur at the same place:

RE: devfsadm taking too long

It is possible that not all the patches are applied:

If you are patching Solaris 10 with the recommended patch bundle, then you will have to go through the
process three times at single user with reconfigure boots between. Only then are all the patches
correctly applied. I understand this is due to complex kernel patch dependency issues.
