Paul: Your OBP is kind of old and you should update to the latest level 4.29.2 since you got seek mount error.
Since you also got Fast Access MMU on the T5240, I suspect the boot archive is probably corrupted. Did you check the build 21 iso checksum and make sure they are fine. Does the same build 21 boots fine on other sparc machines ??? ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 12:08:51 PM GMT -08:00 Tijuana / Baja California Subject: [caiman-discuss] T5240 solaris11 build 11 to 21 fails All, I've got a problem installing solaris11 build 11 and higher (up to build 21) on a T5240 Get the following error: {8} ok boot net:dhcp - install Boot device: /pci@500/pci@0/pci@8/network@0:dhcp File and args: - install /pci@500/pci@0/pci@8/network@0: 1000 Mbps link up Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply <time unavailable> wanboot info: WAN boot messages->console <time unavailable> wanboot info: configuring /pci@500/pci@0/pci@8/network@0:dhcp /pci@500/pci@0/pci@8/network@0: 1000 Mbps link up <time unavailable> wanboot info: Starting DHCP configuration Requesting Ethernet address for: 10.80.183.254 <time unavailable> wanboot info: DHCP configuration succeeded <time unavailable> wanboot progress: wanbootfs: Read 366 of 366 kB (100%) <time unavailable> wanboot info: wanbootfs: Download complete Wed Aug 1 18:50:50 wanboot progress: miniroot: Read 204532 of 204532 kB (100%) Wed Aug 1 18:50:50 wanboot info: miniroot: Download complete /pci@500/pci@0/pci@8/network@0: 1000 Mbps link up seek failed Can't mount root ERROR: /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss {8} ok banner T5240, No Keyboard Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Not sure if it's the network or the disk, to be honest the ERROR message may be caused by something else, like an error in the miniroot. Help!
