Subject: zfs boot suddenly not working
We have a machine that is configured with zfs boot , Nevada v67- we
have two pools, rootpool and datapool. It has been working ok since
June. Today it kernel panicked and now when we try to boot it up,
it gets to the grub screen, we select ZFS, and then there is a
kernel panic that flashes by too quickly for us to see and then it
reboots.
If we boot to a nevada v77 DVD and if we boot to that, we can do a
zpool import and mount the zfs pools successfully. We scrubbed them
and didn't find any errors. From the nevada v77 DVD we can see
everything ok.
Here is our grub menu.lst
title Solaris ZFS snv_67 X86
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive
First of all, is there a way to slow down that kernel panic so that
we can see what it is? Also, we suspect that maybe /platform/i86pm/
boot_archive might have been damaged. Is there a way to regenerate
it?
