Error's before/during/after Solaris install

[sunapple]

Has anyone else experienced these errors?

everytime solaris boots either from cd, dvd, or HDD. I get a bunch of UART errors.

asy0: UART @ 3f8 scratch register: expected 0x5a, got 0xff
Cannot identify UART chip at 3f8
asy1: UART @ 2f8 scratch register: expected 0x5a, got 0xff
Cannot identify UART chip at 2f8


Additionally after my installation of solaris I saw the following:

Solaris 10 software installation partially failed

Solaris 10 packages partially installed
SUNW0cfd

I'm not sure what this package is or whether it's going to have any major impact on my VM, does anyone here know?

when I try to run xorgconfig I get the following error:
Cannot create directory /tmp/ .xorg.conf72


My configuration:
Apple Macbook Pro 15" 128MB video card
2 GB RAM
512 allocated to Solaris
build 3188

UART errors came from absent serial ports in configuration. Other - do not know, may be you have corrupted CD?

With my Solaris installation, it refused to install SUNWcsr (which provides ls, mount, cat and basic stuff). You probably want to try installing SUNW0cfd manually then ...

/sbin/mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt
/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris11/Product SUNW0cfd

Your xorg problem looks like tmpfs is not mounted. Try

/sbin/mount -F tmpfs swap /tmp

and also make sure you have the following in /etc/vfstab

swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -

Hope this helps.

Solaris is defaulting to old school (non-ACPI) serial port detection. You can eliminate these UART errors by configuring TWO virtual serial ports (I do it as serial.txt and serial2.txt output files). Otherwise, live with the error. It's harmless (but yeah, I hate seeing errors).
