Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the 2008.11 release candidate to work under a Debian Dom0 in
Xen. (the opensolaris is a domU). The installer works flawlessly (as opposed
to 2008.05, when the weird workaround was required). However, after it
installs, I'm at a loss on how to get the thing to boot. My configuration is
as follows:
name = "OpenSolaris-2008.11"
vcpus = 2
memory = "2048"
kernel = "/home/admin4810/Xen/Solaris/unix"
ramdisk = "/home/admin4810/Xen/Solaris/boot_archive"
extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda5,0,w' ]
vif = [ '' ]
on_shutdown = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "destroy"
I believe the problem lies in the extra = line. Originally, I followed the
instructions and write "-B zfs-bootfs=rpool/27". However, with that
confirugation, I get the kernel panic:

Does anyone know which is the correct bootfs under 2008.11? If I leave the -B
zfs-bootfs line out altogther, it fails with:
v3.3.0 chgset 'unavailable'

NOTICE: mount: not a UFS magic number (0x0)
Cannot mount root on /ramdisk:a fstype ufs

However, this is expected, I guess, since it doens't know what to mount for the
root fs.
Any help is appreciated,
-Stephen
