failsafe mode, mount my root partition and remove
/a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive. Boot again into failsafe mode and select to
update the boot archives. Next reboot worked fine.
Sunil,
This is bug 6294481. When you install kernels with Install, they are added in
/etc/boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk. If they also listed in
/boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk, the bootadm will create corrupted 20-byte
ramdisk image. This bug was introduced in snv_18. Make sure you remove your
custom kernel directory from /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk.
