Attempting to boot OpenSolaris now leaves me in a grub prompt. While this has been reported a number of times, I have not been able to find a solution and am on the third reinstall. Which is not nice because I've lost all customisations, like the 3rd party NIC driver.
The first time this happened I was playing around around with boot environments and removing those I don't need. After the latest reinstall, however, the problem occured even without touching the boot environments. There is a Linux grub installed on partition 0, which chainloads the Solaris grub on partition 2 (hd0,2,a). Disk layout (hd0,x): 0 83 Linux ext2 1 a5 FreeBSD ufs 2 bf Solaris zfs 3 5 extended 4 83 Linux ext2 5 82 Linux swap 6 83 Linux ext2 7 83 Linux ext2 Sequence of events: - installation from live cd into the Solaris partition - reboot - run update manager (update = "entire"); BEs now installed: opensolaris and opensolaris-1 - reboot - do some work under Solaris - reboot into Linux or FreeBSD - reboot into Solaris -> grub prompt The aspect I find most worrying is that the root command in grub reports an unknown filesystem for hd0,2,a. Importing the root pool or running installgrub off the live cd did nothing to fix it. I'm a complete beginner to OpenSolaris, but have used Linux and Solaris for years. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
