x86: Invalid /sbin/dhcpinfo Error During Installation
(6332044)
If you install the Solaris 10 8/07 or Solaris 10 5/08 OS on an x86 based system, the following
error message is displayed.
/sbin/dhcpinfo: primary interface requested but no primary interface is set
The error does not aect the installation, and the installation succeeds.
Workaround: Ignore the error message.
x86: Installation From CD Media Appears to Hang
After Reboot Selection (6270371)
A problem might occur when you are using the Solaris installation program and are using CD
media. After the installation of the Solaris software from the Solaris 10 5/08 Software CD - 4, the
following prompt is displayed:
Press Reboot now to continue.
If you press Reboot, the system might not respond. The installation is successful. However, the
error prevents the installation program from exiting normally. Consequently, the typical
postinstallation cleanup and system reboot cannot occur.
An error message similar to the following example is logged in /tmp/disk0_install.log le:
Exception in thread "Thread-70" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException:
