So I'm trying to upgrade my ABE, called nevada61, which was made from my PE nevada60: Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status -------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ---------- nevada60 yes yes yes no - nevada61 yes no no yes - While using a loopback mount of the b61 media, I'm trying to luupgrade nevada61, and getting the following message: [desperation] ~ > luupgrade -n nevada61 -u -s /mnt Copying failsafe kernel from media. Uncompressing miniroot gzcat: /mnt/boot/x86.miniroot: not in gzip format ERROR: Cannot decompress media miniroot archive </mnt/boot/x86.miniroot>. ERROR: Cannot unmount miniroot at </mnt/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot>. Any thoughts?
