Both David and Sergey were correct. Sergey had this to say, and he was exactly right During Solaris 8 installation you have chosen options which are not valid for you platform: *Computer Systems supplement CD: remove packages for: 1. Alternate Pathing 2. CDRW 3. RSC 4. ShowME TV 5. SunATM 6. SunFDDI PCI 7. SunFDDI SBus 8. Sun GigabitEthernet 9. SunHSI PCI 10.SunHSI SBus 11.Sun Hardware AnswerBook 12.SSP 13.Capacity on Demand 14.Netra ct Platform 15.Netra Lights out Power Management 16.Netra t11xx Alarms This is the list I remove every time I use 10-60 platforms. To be more specific, SSP is the package giving you trouble. And David Foster said this: This is because you installed some packages specific to the A10000. For now you can just answer anything you like, to get the system up. You'll need to figure out which packages these are (sorry, I don't remember from when this happened to me). Dave Foster Jeffrey G.
