3.3.2Error Messages That Can be Safely Ignored

This section lists error messages that will be be observed during a network installation or reboot. In all cases these messages can be safely ignored. They have no impact on B100x and B200x blades.

4903388 consconfig complains on servers with no frame buffer

When the B100x and B200x blades boot you will see the following message:

SunOS Release 5.9 Version Generic_112234-11 32-bit

Copyright 1983-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms.

WARNING: consconfig: could not find driver for screen device /isa/display@1,3b0

WARNING: Could not attach frame buffer to wscons, error 6

configuring IPv4 interfaces: bge0. starting DHCP on primary interface bge0

This message is generated because the blades do not have a frame buffer. It can be safely ignored.

4921001: /etc/bootrc needs to skip 30 second delay when boot- args is set to jumpstart

When you configure a SPARC Solaris custom Jumpstart installation, the installation program does not prompt you to choose whether to perform an interactive or a Jumpstart installation. Instead it reports that it is proceeding with a Jumpstart installation.

There are two issues, however, that affect Jumpstart installations of Solaris x86. The installation program does prompt you to choose either an interactive or a Jumpstart installation even if you have previously configured a Jumpstart. It pauses for up to 30 seconds and when this time has elapsed the installation program reports that it is ’starting interactive installation’ even if you have configured the blade to perform a Jumpstart installation.
