Hi Dave, based on the yesterday's discussion during Caiman meeting, I am assuming that following bug is to be qualified as 2008.11 stopper. This fix addresses scenario Rafal reported in bug 4872.
Could you please let me know, if my understanding is correct ? If this is the case, could I please ask two people to review those changes ? 4980 Installer should convert legacy Solaris partition (0x82) to Solaris2 one (0xbf) http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4980 The webrev is available at: http://cr.opensolaris.org/~dambi/bug-4980 Thank you, Jan Modules affected: ----------------- * liborchestrator Testing done: ------------- configuration: * HW: vmware guest (1GB RWM) on Linux host * SW: LiveCD installation based on osol-0811-101a-rc1b.iso * original partition configuration (before installation): * Id Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl Ehead Esect Ecyl Rsect Numsect 192 0 0 1 1 254 63 1023 16065 22491000 130 0 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 22507065 29988864 130 0 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 52500420 4192965 * On installer 'Disk screen' partitions are identified as: Unknown 10.7 Solaris 14.3 Linux swap 2.0 Unused 0.0 [1] Without fix --------------- * installer didn't change legacy Solaris partition to new one * both 0x82 partitions were marked as 'active': * Id Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl Ehead Esect Ecyl Rsect Numsect 192 0 0 1 1 254 63 1023 16065 22491000 130 128 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 22507065 29988864 130 128 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 52500420 4192965 * installer hung during "bootadm update-menu -R /a -Z -O /dev/rdsk/c3d0s0" [2] With fix ------------ * installer changed legacy Solaris partition to new one (0xbf) * only 0xbf partition was marked as 'active': * Id Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl Ehead Esect Ecyl Rsect Numsect 192 0 0 1 1 254 63 1023 16065 22491000 191 128 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 22507065 29988864 130 0 254 63 1023 254 63 1023 52500420 4192965 * installer didn't hang and installed Solaris was successfully booted
