I'm slightly confused on how many disks you have in the system, but ... when I run into this a year ago this helped me: http:// bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6362108 (biosdev fails with "biosdev: Could not match any!!").
My board didn't do "EDD" (I think, whatever that is) and biosdev had to resort to comparing the first block on the disk as read from the disk against what the bios says the first block is. Both my disks had the same first block, so it couldn't tell the difference between them from the first block. Once I changed the fdisk layout to be different on the two biosdev was able to tell the difference, but then I run into other problems ... But now I'm happily using LU with alternating BE on two partitions on the same disk. good luck! - mo On 18 Mar 2007, at 16:01, Matty wrote: > Howdy, > > I am trying to activate an ABE on an x86 server, and I keep getting > the following error: > > $ luactivate Solaris10_11_06_B > biosdev: Could not match any!! > ERROR: Device mapping command </sbin/biosdev> failed.
