Sorry for the delay in responding... If you're using live upgrade, chances are you need a root line in the menu.lst entry to boot the correct slice. You can look at the existing menu.lst and copy the root line from an existing, working menu entry. It will be something like: root (hd0,0,d) > > kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz > module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix > /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix > module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive > > and got the following error message: > > Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules. > > What should I see in my /boot directory? I think I'm missing some bits. If you're booted into the new snv_75 boot environment, you should have the following (among other files): /boot/xen.gz /boot/xen-syms /boot/amd64/xen.gz /boot/amd64/xen-syms These should be installed by SUNWxvmr. -Ryan > >> -Ryan >> >>> should live upgrade work for b75? are there any >> docs I should read? >>> i'm attempting this on a compaq presario v3000 >>> >>> thanks for your help! >>> >>> >>> This message posted from opensolaris.org >>> _______________________________________________ >>> xen-discuss mailing list >>> [email protected] >> _______________________________________________ >> xen-discuss mailing list >> [email protected] > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > xen-discuss mailing list > [email protected] _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
