Which grub bits did you install with installgrub? Those from 2008.11? Maybe you need to installgrub the newer grub bits from build 111a, to get the fix for 6774616 "GRUB/ZFS Error 16 (Inconsistent filesystem structure) due to lack of GANG Block support" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6774616 This assumes the upgrade from 2008.11 to build 111a did not install the new grub bits, but the menu.lst file was rewritten and now uses those zfs gang blocks, and the old grub cannot read the file any more? What kind of error is reported by the grub console when you try a "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" ? > As I said earlier, the menu.lst appears correct and typing in the pertinent > lines at the "grub>" prompt will allow the system to boot. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
