Hi! This is my first attempt to use Live Upgrade with ZFS boot/root. The old boot environment (bootenv1) is a ZFS boot environment with root FS in rpool/ROOT/snv_90. This was a fresh install of SXCE build 90. I created a new boot environment using lucreate -c bootenv1 -n bootenv2 -p rpool Then I upgraded using luupgrade. There were no errors during the upgrade. After that I ran luactivate bootenv2. No errors were reported. However, when I reboot (using init 6) only the old boot environment (snv_90) can be selected in the GRUB menu. I found the following error messages in /var/svc/log/rc6.log: > Executing legacy init script "/etc/rc0.d/K62lu". > Live Upgrade: Deaktiverar aktuell startmilj? <bootenv1>. > Live Upgrade: K?r stopp-procedurer f?r startmilj?n <bootenv1>. > Live Upgrade: Aktuell startmilj? ?r <bootenv1>. > Live Upgrade: Den nya startmilj?n kommer att bli <bootenv2>. > Live Upgrade: Aktiverar startmilj?n <bootenv2>. > Installing GRUB bootloader to all BEs > stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065) > stage2 written to partition 0, 265 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115) > cannot open/stat device fel: > FEL: installgrub failed for <fel:> > stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065) > stage2 written to partition 0, 265 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115) > cannot open/stat device fel: > FEL: installgrub failed for <fel:> > System does not have an applicable x86 boot partition > FEL: Install GRUB to all BEs is incomplete > FEL: Could not install GRUB that supports the findroot command. > FEL: Live Upgrade: Aktiveringen av startmilj?n <bootenv2> MISSLYCKADES. > Legacy init script "/etc/rc0.d/K62lu" exited with return code 0. (Sorry about the mix of Swedish and English...) Apparently the activation fails because GRUB cannot be installed. It seems a boot partition is required...? But the installation of SXCE build 90 only created a slice for the rpool, no separate boot partition. Can I fix this manually somehow? /Magnus
