hai i want the suggestion from u, which of the x86 platform is mostly supporeted by solaris.

i heard that AMD motherboard is supported? which model number of mother board?


and how can we solve the error messages ?

example: yours qualified host name is too short

I would say the ones sold by Sun, which come with Solaris installed.
I don't think AMD sell motherboards, have a look at the HCL to see what is supported and what is reported to work.

That one looks easy: make your qualified host name longer

I think Solaris works well on a wide range of x86 hardware. I have a couple of machines with bog standard hardware (one with an old athlon XP 1 gig and another with a Sempron 2600) and Solaris 10 as well as various Solaris Express releases "just work". Obviously hardware created and shipped by Sun will work better with their software.

You can go for anything under the Sun, but yes, I would like to forewarn you about motherboards having the ATI Radeon X200G graphics card.
It would be a huge bottleneck to get them to work under Solaris, and other Open Source distros like FreeBsd, GNU/Linux, and the rest.
That is because the drivers are proprietory, and are released for a certain Win* OS only.
I had to swap an Original Intel motherboard having this graphics card which was built-in to a Via Chipset just to get GUI to work on CentOS and Solaris.
There are alternatives to configure GUI on this graphics card though, selecting VESA generic display, however you will not be able to fully utilise the 32 MB built-in VRAM.

Cheers,
Praveen.

Actually AMD released their *first* motherboard (This is a hear-say and I have no proof neither did I check it up but I probably will) and it's strangely enough designed for the Intel chipset and benchmarsk very high...

For graphic cards, Nvidia is a good choice, as they release drivers to Linux and Solaris.

it is read only file. how can i remove that rq from mount options. and unable to run fsck aslo.

help me

You need to run fsck first. Please explain clearly what prevents you from doing it.

how to apply quotas to user?



i edited vi /etc/vfstab in mount option i palced rq

for every ufs filesystem.

in the next reboot the system went into maintainace mode

when tried to run fsck the error massege like this "too many

enteries is vfstab" . when i tried to edit /etc/vfstab it shows
