[indiana-discuss] OpenSolaris development package repository build
110, x86/x64/SPARC
Posted:
Mar 26, 2009 7:35 PM
|
|
The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_110 for both x86/x64 and
SPARC platforms. This update also includes fixes to the Caiman "Slim
Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS). In particular, IPS'
search capability has been enhanced[1].
This update also includes versions of Sun HPC ClusterTools 8.1 for
SPARC and NetBeans 6.5.1 for x86/x64 and SPARC.
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred authority to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
IMPORTANT NOTE: As changes have been integrated to support "variants"
within IPS[2], newly published packages in the development repository
will require the latest version of the pkg(1) command to install. In
general, users of the development repository should ensure the latest
version of IPS is installed by either using "image-update" facility or
manually installing SUNWipkg.
ISO images for the Automated Installer[3], CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows
SPARC Automated Installer image, 253MB
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-0906-110-ai-sparc.iso.torrent
x86/x64 Automated Installer image, 159MB

x86/x64 All Languages CD, LZMA compression, 660MB

x86/x64 All Languages USB, LZMA compression, 792MB
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-0906-110-x86.usb.torrent
MD5 checksums for these images
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/md5sums_110.txt
The ISO images are also available for HTTP download from
http://www.genunix.org/
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script[4].
Automated Installer
===================
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Systems being used to support the Automated Installer
and which are updated to build 110 must recreate the associated
services[5].
Known issues in this repository update
======================================
4215 AI doesn't set 'root' role and 'Primary Administrator' profile
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4215
After performing an installation using the Automated Installer,
the default user is not able to use pfexec(1) to perform
operations as a privileged user.
Work-around: Become the superuser using su(1) and then execute
the command in question.
6804 AI fails due to solaris.zlib becoming corrupt during install
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6804
In certain circumstances, the installation process will not
succeed or will appear to succeed but the installed system will
not boot. In addition, the following messages may be reported
on the system console log
lofi: NOTICE: LzmaDecode failed
Work-around: None at this time. This issue is being actively
investigated and updated information will be reported when
available at the above URL.
7358 Depot throws a stack trace when started with an old index (should rebuild)
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7358
pkg(5) servers upgraded to build 110 will terminate with a
"pkg.search_errors.InconsistentIndexException" error.
Work-around: Remove the old search indices located at
<Path to repository>/index
(by default /var/pkg/repo/index)
and restart the pkg.depotd(1M) server.
6811922 PCIE init err info failed BDF 0x0 on snv_109 (Ultra 20 M2)
Ultra 20 M2 systems may not boot after being upgraded or
installed with build 109.
Work-around: Upgrade the system's firmware to at least revision
1.52. Updated firmware can be obtained from
http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra20/downloads.jsp
6818652 cpu_acpi_cache_cst panics with bad _CST objects on Tecra M9 and M10
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6818652
Certain systems will panic on boot with the kernel stack trace
indicating a failure in the function cpu_acpi_cache_cst().
Work-around: Verify that your system has an up-to-date BIOS.
If the system supports turning off Deep C-states C2 and C3 in
the BIOS (usually under an advanced ACPI or CPU setup), disable
those C-states and attempt booting again.
6819156 cpu_acpi_free_cstate_data can free the wrong size
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6819156
After updating to build 110 and rebooting, the system crashes
immediately with a "kernel heap corruption detected" error.
Work-around: None at this time.
3408 X server does not start w/Guest Additions on OpenSolaris guest w/snv_107
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3408
The Xorg driver included with the VirtualBox Guest Additions is
incompatible with the 1.5.3 version of the Xorg server included
in this build.
Work-around: VirtualBox users should remove the VirtualBox
guest additions prior to updating to this build.
Alternatively, VirtualBox 2.2 Beta 1 is reported to have
addressed this issue
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0_BETA1/

A simple workaround for these two issues:
1) add "-kd" to the kernel command line in GRUB.
2) execute "cpupm_vendors/Z 0" at kmdb then ":c"
But please be aware this workaround also disables the P-state(speedstep
on intel platform) feature.
Thanks,
-Aubrey

When trying to image-update to 110 from 109 on a system with one IPS Zone configured, the image-update fails:
$ pfexec pkg image-update
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)
Completed 581/581 12124/12124 204.10/204.10
pkg: Unable to clone the current boot environment.
After uninstalling the zone and removing it, the image-update command finished without errors.
I filed http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7766 to track the problem. More details are on the bug report. This is the first time I've tried image-updating with a zone installed so I don't know if this is a new problem or not. I couldn't find any existing discussion about this problem.

I am running snv_110 in build 109 (now image-updated to 110) with VirtualBox 2.2 Beta 2. Everything seems to be running OK except the scroll wheel.
Wireless (wpi0) seems to have improved a lot.
I had to uninstall then re-install FF3.1 Beta 3.

Firefox 3.1b3 will be in b111. It won't be necessary to
uninstall/re-install when it's available.

For some unknown reason suspend-to-RAM stopped working. Wireless and VirtualBox (2.2 Beta 2) also began to behave erratically. (I am having problem starting encrypted wireless connection--it seems that I have to enter the password and play around a bit every time I start the machine, but once it's connected, unlike previous builds, I don't have any problem.)
However, the new shutdown is FAST! FF3.1Beta2 also seems to work faster than in Ubuntu (8.10).
