Hi, I am trying to get OpenSolaris (B36) to boot on my new laptop.
I had some issues with the firewire CDROM drive so I installed Solaris through VMWare instead. Solaris starts fine in VMWare but not directly on the machine. Here's the trace from boot ... -k -v -r ************************************************** ... features: 1007fdf<cpuid,sse2,sse,sep,pat,cx8,pae,mca,mmx,cmov,pge,mtrr,msr,tsc,lgpg> cpuid 0: initialized cpumod: cpu.generic mem = 1038396K (0x3f60f000) root nexus = i86pc pseudo0 at root pseudo0 is /pseudo scsi_vhci0 at root scsi_vhci0 is /scsi_vhci isa0 at root npe0 at root: space 0 offset 0 npe0 is /pci at 0,0 panic[cpu0]/thread=fec1f820: cannot mount root path fec35e4c genunix:rootconf+f0 (fe88bb38, fec1efbc,) fec35e70 genunix:vfs_mountroot+54 (fe800000, 1010088,) fec35e84 genunix:main+87 () panic: entering debugger (no dump device, continue to reboot) Welcome to kmdb Loaded modules: [ uppc ufs unix krtld genunix specfs pcplusmp ] [0]> $c kaif_enter_+7() kdi_dvec_enter+0xd() debug_enter+0x27(fec08f08) panicsys+0x315(fe9abcb4, fec35e34, fec3a564, 1) vpanic+0xbd(fe9abcb4, fec35e34) cmn_err+0x5c(3, fe9abcb4, fec7fdc4) rootconf+0xf0() vfs_mountroot+0x54() main+0x87() [0]> ****************************************************** I traced the codes a little and found that (svm_bootpath == ""). The failsafe boots fine and I can mount the file system in that mode so I'm quite certain it's not an issue with the lack of drivers. I belive I just need to change something in the boot archive to get Solaris to boot but have no idea what. Any suggestions/hints on how I can proceed? Thanks. -- Just me, Wire ...
