Thanks for your help. Some feedback. First pfexec init 6 from 133 was booting 134 because in this case the boot was in text mode. So removing ,console=graphics is the solution
I do the following in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst ... #splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm #kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS You have to comment splashimage if you want to see a text boot otherwise the splashimage has no progress bar and you have a blind boot until the gdm banner comes. Before doing that I flashed the BIOS from A04 to A12. That does not solve this problem but solve another one : since build 12x fans were "crazy" at boot near the gdm launch (fans start(5s)/stop(1s) five minutes long). Flashing the BIOS solved that. Here is the full grub menu : $ cat menu.lst splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz background 215ECA timeout 30 default 8 #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86 findroot (pool_rpool,2,a) splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- # Unknown partition of type 6 found on /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0 partition: 1 # It maps to the GRUB device: (hd0,0) . title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 # Unknown partition of type 5 found on /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0 partition: 4 # It maps to the GRUB device: (hd0,3) . title OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86 text boot findroot (pool_rpool,2,a) bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive title Diagnostic Partition rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title CentOS 5 root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.img # chainloader +1 title CentOS 5 FailSafe root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img # chainloader +1 title opensolaris-1 findroot (pool_rpool,2,a) splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #============ End of LIBBE entry ============= title opensolaris-2 findroot (pool_rpool,2,a) splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #============ End of LIBBE entry ============= title opensolaris-3 findroot (pool_rpool,2,a) #splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-3 #kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #============ End of LIBBE entry ============= -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
