Paul,

This looks like a valid bug. The -v option was removed from auto-install, but the method script is still calling it with -v when debug-mode is enabled. I've filed 7054312 for this.

For now, just don't do your installs with debugging enabled.  That is,

- For x86, make sure "install_debug=enable" is not in the kernel line of the grub entry you boot.

- For Sparc, just don't boot with "install_debug" as a boot argument.

All,

I have this strange problem, and don't know how to solve it.
I use the /<167_distrib_dir>/auto_install/manifest/ai_manifest.xml

but when I try to install I get a service failure for the auto-install. so I look for the /tmp/install_log file, well, not there.

svcs -xv suggests to look at: /var/svc/log/application-auto-installer:default.log (output below)

[ Jun 13 22:47:17 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/auto-installer"). ]

What is this "auto-install: error: no such option: -v" error, where does it come from ? I initially thought, oh, maybe in my grub menu, so I took out the "-v" option, but that doesn't help. I don't think the "Invalid or incompatible manifest provided" is meaningful, since the 'auto-install' failed already.

Thanks

Paul
