Hi, while trying to update to latest illumos changes, I built updated sources, got new pkg repo, then updated a test machine. Got this message after reboot: "failed to get ramdisk from boot" and more error stuff. I felt safe, because ZFS and beadm let you have a SAFE copy of BE....but............................. Same with previous BE.... too bad.........if this was a customer machine I would kill myself... Lucky enough this machine is a test for updates :) So I tried booting from XStream DVD, going to bash, and following the same old instructions to mount rpool... .....but after importing rpool, I can't ever seem to mount rpool/ROOT/BEname, always ending up with "/a not empty"...??? To go on, I had to umount both rpool/export/home and rpool/export then rpool. Now I could mount rpool/ROOT/BEname, and then mount again rpool if needed. ...why this??? Then I tried grubinstall and update archive on /a. Rebooted. Nothing......still the same problem. Lucky enough, I can reinstall system on the failing boot disk, it's a test machine, other disks are separated and available. But I really can't say what happened, and how I could get out of this hell on a customer machine, without reinstalling! Any help?? Gabriele.
