Hi, What is the proper way to tell the AI installation procedure to remove any existing partitions, and use the entire disk? Tried a manifest with: == <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>1</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>2</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>3</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>4</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>create</partition_action> <partition_type>SOLARIS</partition_type> <partition_size>max_size</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> == The installation itself seems to go fine (although it takes 4 hours, even when using the European mirror http://pkg-eu-2.opensolaris.org/release ).
/release contains only upto the build of the last release, which is 111b. Use http://pkg-eu-2.opensolaris.org/dev instead. -ethan
But after reboot, grub does not seem to recognize the file system. On boot it displays the grub prompt, not a menu. Entering "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" results in: = Error 15: "file not found" = And entering "root (hd0,0)" gives: = Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xbf = Any thoughts? I'm using the files from the osol-dev-134-ai-x86.iso at genunix.org. PXE boot using "-B install=true,aimanifest=prompt" as boot option, and entering the URL of the manifest file that is stored on my webserver. The "server" being installed on is a VMware ESXi 3.5 virtual machine, with 20 GB (empty) disk space. - Floris Bos P.S. I tried to post this message to the mailinglist on Wednesday by sending it to [email protected], but it seems it never arrived. Does the list have some sort of oversensitive spam filter? Using the webinterface now.
