FYI; I just ran the latest image update to my box yesterday without any problems; and md5sum does seem to match yours so problem must be somewhere else. I wrote the image dd-ed from my Mac. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>leow$ fdisk smartos-latest-USB.imgDisk: smartos-latest-USB.img >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>geometry: 968/64/63 [3906250 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Starting Ending #: id cyl hd sec - cyl hd sec [ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>start - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>size]------------------------------------------------------------------------*1: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0C 0 9 34 - 243 34 63 [ 600 - 3905400] Win95 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FAT32L 2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>0] unused 3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0] unused 4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0 - 0] unused leow$ md5 smartos-latest-USB.imgMD5 (smartos-latest-USB.img) = 10f5aa470e52ca1becbd0cf664729296 leow$ md5 smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 MD5 (smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2) = a80cee18a2bc492bf7d9c3224a466484 >>>>>>>>>>>> I just followed the instruction on SmartOS blog; set the first partition to active and boot as per normal.

Thank you for the reply. on my machine, $ md5sum smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img.bz2 returns: a80cee18a2bc492bf7d9c3224a466484 smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img.bz2 which matches https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/builds/smartos/release-20141225-20141225T170427Z/smartos//md5sums.txt ----------------- I would like to verify the bunzip2 .img file but there is no md5sum in that txt file. $ md5sum smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img gives me: 10f5aa470e52ca1becbd0cf664729296 smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img ----------------- when I try $ fdisk -l smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img Disk smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img: 2000 MB, 2000000000 bytes 35 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1771 cylinders, total 3906250 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img1 * 600 3905999 1952700 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) which is matching what was written and what I think may be an error. ----------------------------- I am trying to mount the .img and then I would copy the contents, but I am failing that attempt: $ sudo mount -o loop smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img smartos_test mount: you must specify the filesystem type $ sudo mount -o loop -t auto smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img smartos_test mount: you must specify the filesystem type $ sudo mount -o loop -t vfat smartos-20141225T170427Z-USB.img smartos_test mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $ dmesg | tail [14171.859012] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [14171.859249] FAT-fs (loop0): invalid media value (0xc0) [14171.859259] FAT-fs (loop0): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem [14181.899940] FAT-fs (loop0): invalid media value (0xc0) [14181.899948] FAT-fs (loop0): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem [14191.095027] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [14191.095083] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [14191.095108] EXT4-fs (loop0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [14191.095158] FAT-fs (loop0): invalid media value (0xc0) [14191.095161] FAT-fs (loop0): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem --------------------- So, to me, I will agree that something is corrupt: however my md5 is matching... so I suspect there was an issue when the img file was created. --------------------- Thanks for the answer on , bss=0x0 . But I am still going to suggest that this cryptic message be changed into something that we can rather enjoy. --------------------- Another: what is up with the .img file taking 2000000000 bytes when there is 1.7 GB of free space on the resultant drive? Why not just have the .img file take up 300MB? - [email protected] - http://www.jjsland.com/ Subject: Re: [smartos-discuss] Re: Trouble creating USB boot drive. From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:03:22 -0600 To: [email protected]; [email protected] It sounds like you're copying a bad image. Re-download it and make sure the hash matches. The ,bss=0x0 is just kernel output to the console. You see similar things booting a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system while the kernel is loading.

Another note: The volume name is NONAME as opposed to HEADNODE as in the working version. Also I was able to successfully copy my old usb drive: $ sudo dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/sdd bs=4M but, of course, I would like to use the current version. I even tried to use the iso, without success. $ sudo dd if=smartos-20141225T170427Z.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=1M --------------- Aside: what is the purpose of the , bss=0x0 It would be nice to see 'loading SmartOS verison: 20141225T170427Z' or something to that effect... ----- - [email protected] - http://www.jjsland.com/ smartos-discuss | Archives | Modify Your Subscription -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
