Re: 7.1 on Solaris 8 run failure?
'stock solaris' has a very low shared memory 'threshold' ... try doing
something like starting postmaster with:
-B 32 -N 16
or raising the shared memory settings in /etc/systems and reboot ..

This error can be caused by one of three things:
1. The maximum size for shared memory segments on your system was
exceeded. You need to raise the SHMMAX parameter in your kernel
to be at least 1245184 bytes.2. The requested shared memory segment was too small for your system.
You need to lower the SHMMIN parameter in your kernel.3. The requested shared memory segment already exists but is of the
wrong size. This is most likely the case if an old version of
PostgreSQL crashed and didn't clean up. The `ipcclean' utility
can be used to remedy this.---
This is on the mostly-stock Solaris that came on my Netra X1 server.

What part of the error message was unclear? Have you checked your
kernel shared memory settings?

Now I have, thanks for the quick replies. Does anyone have any good
settings for my /etc/system? Right now I have limited the number of users.
I also seem to have truncated the part of the message where pg_ctl
reports "The postmaster has started successfully..." which is wrong and
confusing.
