Changes

Cause

From the messages above "SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_137137-09 64-bit" shows that this version of Solaris does not support the M10-x platform.

Refer to Fujitsu M10 Product Notes ( linked from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38160_01 Chapter 1 page 1 ).

Minimum required version of Solaris 10 is:

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Update 11

Solution

The jumpstart server may have been setup using a Solaris 10 Update 6 image, so the miniroot used for the jumpstart is also from Update 6.

It may be pointed at the proper Solaris 10 Update 11 image, but the device tree is generated by the miniroot, which doesn't have the proper drivers to handle the hardware.

Delete the jumpstart client from the existing jumpstart server and recreate it from an Update 11 image.
