Solaris Issues
Note – The Sun Blade X6440 is delivered with a preinstalled Solaris OS. This OS is
set by default to be redirected through the serial console connection (ttya). To change
this to local monitor/keyboard, use the GRUB menu at boot time, and select the
VGA option.
Warning message might appear during startup
When using a compact flash device, the following warning message might appear
during Solaris startup:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@4/ide@0 unable to enable write cache
targ=0
It is safe to ignore this message.
Solaris OS installation halts during the installation
Change Request ID: 6848353
When installing the Solaris OS in a system that contains an LSI 1068e B3 HBA, the
installation halts at the “Configuring Devices” screen. This issue does not occur
when using other HBA cards in the system.
