What am i doing wrong? Why Solaris 10 will not create fdisk?
807559Apr 16 2008 — edited Apr 16 2008I am at wits end here, I have tried every known trick to get Solaris to load on my x86 machine.
The original download was true, I checked the sums all was fine. Burned the ISO onto DVD.
My old machine falls under the system reqs (memory is a little low, but it installs with text)
I wanted dual-boot with Ubuntu, that did not work.
I repartitioned the disk, tried to install S-10 first, that did not work.
I put a new drive in, plopped the S-10 DVD into the drive...you guessed it, that did not work.
I have used Ubuntus partition utility and changed some partition info within Ubuntu. That did not work.
I have used S-10's partitioner, that did not work.
I have used 3rd party partitioning tools...no go.
No matter what I do, S-10 install will always stop at "Configuring disk (c0d0) -Creating Fdisk partition table.
ERROR Could not create Fdisk partition table
ERROR Could not label disk
ERROR Could not update disk with new configuration
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
I tried to DL a new copy of S-10 but they upgraded it, and now this new version will not install at all.
HELP! Please!
