Please read through the following limitations to determine if any apply to your system: each limitation has a workaround that will allow you to install or upgrade your system successfully.
We strongly recommend that immediately after
installing UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.0 you execute the following commands
while logged into the system as root:
filepriv -d /usr/sbin/pkgadd
filepriv -d /usr/sbin/pkgrm
filepriv -d /usr/bin/pkginfo
filepriv -d /usr/bin/pkgparam
filepriv -d /usr/sbin/pkgchk
filepriv -d /usr/bin/pkgtrans
filepriv -d /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkgremove
filepriv -d /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkgaudit
filepriv -d /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkgname
filepriv -d /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkginstall
If you need to grant privilege to a user, the system owner, for
example, then this can be accomplished in the following way
as root:
/bin/adminuser -n -a pkgadd:/usr/sbin/pkgrm:dacread:dacwrite user_name
/bin/adminuser -a pkgrm:/usr/sbin/pkgrm:dacread:dacwrite user_name
The system owner, user_name, can then execute pkgadd
or pkgrm as follows:
/sbin/tfadmin /usr/sbin/pkgadd
/sbin/tfadmin /usr/sbin/pkgrm
A side-effect of this temporary work-around is that network installations will fail if the above measures are applied to the network install server. If it is vital for you to be able to perform network installations then we strongly suggest that you disable non-administrative user accounts on the server.
The kernel relink problem occurs because the pcic driver, which is configured initially to determine if the system has PC Card support, may claim the same ISA memory addresses that are used by other hardware drivers such as host bus adapter drivers. The resources used by the pcic driver include the memory address range of 0xD0000-0xD1FFF and the I/O address range of 0x3E0-0x3E7.
You can resolve the problem during installation by entering the DCU and disabling the pcic driver. The pcic driver can be identified in the dcu as the driver that uses the resources above with a Device Name of "Card & Socket Services". The pcic driver can be safely disabled since the pcic driver is only useful on machines such as laptops which provide PC Card slots.
There are two workarounds:
After you install the desired package(s), you can set your system to run in the desired locale using the International Settings Manager.
To prevent the drivers from loading during the installation, enter the DCU when prompted, choose Software Drivers, and de-select any unwanted drivers.
To view the swap space allocated, choose to Customize filesystems and slices when prompted during the installation.
You should have at least this much swap space allocated to successfully install UnixWare 7 Release 7.1:
| RAM (MB) | Swap space (MB) |
|---|---|
| 32 | 96 |
| 48 | 120 |
| 64 | 144 |
To determine the amount of swap allocated on your system, enter:
df -v
If the size of /dev/swap is not equal to or greater than the values shown in the previous note, you need to add swap space before running the Upgrade Wizard. Refer to "Adding swap space" in SCOhelp and the swap(1M) manual page for information on how to add a swap file to the system.
Instead, upgrade the other packages you desire, then use the Application Installer or pkgadd(1M) to install SCO Merge.
UX:idmkunix: ERROR: Conflicting use of interrupt vector; already used as type 4, ipl 5If this happens, you can still boot your system and remove the unwanted HBA drivers using pkgrm, then rebuild the kernel and reboot the system.
Complete details on this problem, including a script to help you determine which drivers can be removed, will be posted to a new technical article at at the SCO Support Library.
This error only affects those installing the Compaq Hot Plug
Controller Driver package. If you
do install this package, perform your installation or upgrade as
normal, then log into the system as root and issue
the following commands:
chmod 1777 /tmp
chown base /tmp
chgrp sysutil /tmp
