Hi Antonio, in order to find out why installer failed to mark your Solaris partition active, could you please attach /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log file ?
Also, how your partition configuration looks like ? Could you please attach output of Linux as well as Solaris fdisk commands ? Linux: # fdisk -l <disk> Solaris: In order to find out name of the disk, use format(1M) or iostat(1M): # iostat -En # fdisk -W - <disk_name>p0 Thank you, Jan Antonio, Fabio Di Narzo wrote: > opensolaris 2008.11 installer doesn't set the active boot flag. > After booting the livecd and installing opensolaris on the 2nd primary > partition of my hd, my system failed completely to reboot (just a 'red' bios > err. msg. shown).
