It looks like what's in the web-cast is incorrect and needs to be updated. It does not follow the updated instructions on http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/relnotes/200805/image-update/
The reason you have the extra entry at the end o the grub menu is because you ran update-grub. It also looks like the boot archive didn't get updated by pkg image update which is probably why you're not able to boot the new 2008.11 BE. If you do the following from your old BE you'll probably be able to boot your new BE. # beadm mount opensolaris-1 /mnt # /mnt/sbin/bootadm update-archive -R /mnt # beadm unmount opensolaris-1 # beadm activate opensolaris-1 # reboot You can also edit /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the extra grub entry at the end of the file to get rid of the extra grub entry. To skip all of this you may want to destroy opensolaris-1 and retry using the correct instructions from: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/relnotes/200805/image-update/ -evan Juanita Heieck wrote: > 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.
