Hi, I just followed the directions on the live demo for upgrading from 2008.05 to the 2008.11 release on my Tecra M2. I also have a Windows partition on the system.
The install took awhile, but it went fine, all files installed, etc. But reboot fails. But, now I have multiple problems. Problem #1: When I reboot the system, I see two menu entries for the 2008.11 release. One shows the actual 2008.11 release, the other is the opensolaris-1 BE I created, mounted, then installed, and unmounted and activated, per the example in the Osol demo, here: http://webcast-west.sun.com/interactive/09B12442/index.html When I reboot, the order of the GRUB menu is: Opensolaris 2008.05 x86 Windows Opensolaris-1 (the one I created and activated using beadm) Solaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 x86 So, I'm assuming there's a problem right there, but not sure what I can do to fix, since I can only boot 2008.05 and Windows. Problem 2: When I attempt to boot either of the 2008.11 versions, the system hangs right after the message "Use is subject to license terms". This message appears: WARNING: pcplusmp: mod_remove_by_name failed 16 Then, the machine hostname is displayed, and then the message: Configuring devices And, this is where the system hangs forever, so not sure what isn't configured correctly and how to fix it? I need to figure why I have two 2008.11 instances and how I can remove one, or both. And, what I need to do to reinstall or reformat the disk to start over? I don't know if the problem can be fixed w/o starting over. Not sure what the best course of action is at this point, but I can't risk anything happening with the 2008.05 OS. Anyone have any suggestions. Desperate in WFH land. Thanks, Nita
