How did you update your system? Below is the correct procedure to update your system:
I General instructions on updating to the latest OpenSolaris development build ====================================================================== = 1) Before using the "image-update" subcommand, it is recommended that the latest available version of the IPS software be installed for your current boot environment $ BUILD=`uname -v | sed s/snv_//` $ pfexec pkg refresh $ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.$BUILD $ pfexec pkg install entire at 0.5.11-0.$BUILD 2) Before proceeding to the next step, verify your OpenSolaris build number $ echo $BUILD 3) If you are running build 93 or greater, you can use "image-update" directly as follows $ pfexec pkg image-update 4) If you are using a build prior to 93, it is recommended one apply the update directly to an alternate boot environment. First, display the list of the existing BEs on the system $ beadm list BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space Name reboot Used ---- ------ --------- ---------- ----- opensolaris no no - 33.92M opensolaris-1 yes yes - 17.06M Next, choose the name of a new BE - if the most recent created BE is of the form "opensolaris-? where is an integer, then a suitable choice for the new BE is ?opensolaris-?. In the above example, the new BE would be ?opensolaris-2?. Then, execute the following sequence to create, mount, update and activate the new BE $ pfexec beadm create opensolaris- $ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris- /mnt $ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update $ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris- 5) If you are running build 86, one additional work-around is required. >>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT <<<<<<<<<< Due to changes in the GRUB boot system, one must manually update the Master Boot Record (MBR) to include these latest changes. Failure to follow these instructions when updating from 2008.05 (build 86) to a later build will result in a system that does not boot by default and instead the original boot environment must be manually selected. Update the GRUB configuration on your ZFS boot device(s) using $ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt When you?re ready to boot into the updated boot environment, you can reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual.
