SIA Error Messages
If SIA encounters an error or an unexpected condition, it generates an error message. You might encounter a number of straightforward error messages such as the following:
You have inserted Disc 3 but the system requires Disc 2. Please insert Disc 2.
You might also attempt to use SIA with versions of Linux or Microsoft Windows that are not supported. In that case you might see error messages such as the following:
The media you have provided is not a release that is supported by Sun
Microsystems, Inc. on this platform. You cannot use the Sun Installation
Assistant to install this product and associated software.
In this case, choose one of the following options:
■To install a supported product, click Back and then insert the appropriate media.
■To install a product not supported by SIA, click Exit to exit the Sun Installation Assistant and reboot the system. You can now install the unsupported product as you normally would without SIA.
For a list of supported operating systems, see “Supported Operating Systems” on page 13.
