Thanks Cindy. I think we may be onto something with this. I grabbed c62013fcda99 from hg where this fix was committed and compiled GRUB. I installed the stages like: # installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdsk/c7d0s0 And GRUB actually loaded menu.lst and the splash image! This is the furthest I've gotten so far. Unfortunately, it can't read the kernel now: > loading '/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics' > ... > cpu: 'GenuineIntel' family 6 model 7 step 7 > [BIOS accepted mixed-mode target setting!] > zio_read_data failed > > Error 15: File not found > > Press any key to continue... Back in GRUB: > grub> find /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix > zio_read_data failed > > Error 15: File not found So what would cause GRUB to be able to load /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst fine but not /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix? _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
