Dan,
I had a similar problem installing RH 6.2 on a SS2. The problem I had was in the package that includes Anaconda (I think...I can't find my notes off hand). I don't remember exactly what package it was in, but I had the same problem with the machine hanging. If you install using the text-mode rather than the GUI, you can see the console window with the error. I had to de-select the package with Anaconda and re-install.

Subject: Redhat 6.2 installation on Sparc 5
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi,
Being new to sparcs (but a long user of RedHat on intel) I need a little
help please. I have a Sparc Station 5 which I need to get RedHat 6.2
onto so I can do some BigEndian testing.
I get through most of the install with no problems, but when the
shadow-utils package is about to be installed the machine just hangs???
This is the second CD I've tried so I don't think it's that.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?
Many thanks,
Dan.

I'm afraid I have no idea, but I suspect not as I probably would have
been told by the person who supplied the sparc machine.
Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Dan.

I'm using Informix under Solaris 7, and reading the notes of informix, I saw
some things that they added to the system file. One of these lines was this:
set enable_sm_wa = 1
But solaris doesn't know what it is. It gives me an error.
Any idea?

Subject: [Sunhelp] Solaris Data Backup Utility Enabler
Reply-To: sunhelp at sunhelp.org
In the box with the E250's, there's a licence for 'Solaris Data Backup
Utility Enabler'.
What is it? I really don't have a clue what it is, but i'm hoping it's
some sort of backup utility : )
Or, does someone know of a script thats preferrably pre-written that
does backups, it can be run from cron, but most importantly, that it
won't write over the tape that it wrote on the previous night?
I imagine I could write one, but i'm on a limted amount of time to get
it in there before the servers get shipped out again. (It doesn't have
to be anything spectacular. Just enough to get us by until Tivoli is set
up, which'll be in 6-8 months)
Thanks,
Tim Conrad

Well, there's something wrong with this one: Some of the questions
have no answers that strike me as the correct choice yet it tells me
I got every one of fifty right.

Humm, the enable_sm_wa kernel variable was introduced in a patch to
Solaris 2.3 to fix a hardware bug in the SS 10 / 514 MP, i *think*
it had something to do with multiple processors.
So its only recognized in the sun4m kernel, i have no idea why its still
in the notes of Informix. Just remove it from /etc/system.
Best regards,

http://www.backupcentral.com/ provides a couple of backup scripts and tools
in the Download Free Tools section. Might be what you're after?

There is a problem w/test/site. I also got 100% on first exam (A) - which
surprised me. I missed 3 questions (supposedly) on the second part B - but
on review, I found that not only did I completely miss answering one
question (and it wasn't marked as incorrect), but I had a couple of other
answers wrong, but they were marked as if I answered correctly. Hmmmm.
