Hi,
I compiled the on consolidation but am having trouble installing the
kernel.
I followed Rich Teer's article 'Building and Installing OpenSolaris'.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/building_opensolaris
I built the source and created the install tar using the glomname
'foo1'. I did this on a 64bit AMD machine.
I then copied the tar file over to a vmware instance on my laptop
(which is 32 bit intel), extracted the files and rebooted.
But read of foo1/unix fails. I believe /platform/i86pc/foo1/unix is
present in the ramdisk.
----------------
-bash-3.00# bootadm list-archive | tail -2
boot/acpi/tables
platform/i86pc/foo1
-bash-3.00# ls /platform/i86pc/foo1/unix
-bash-3.00# reboot -- foo1/unix
[reboot]
Elf32 read error.
panic: no entry point in foo1/unix
Press any key to reboot
What is the distribution/version of your installed system? You are
probably running into what is described here:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2007011901/
Upgrading kernels is somewhat less straightforward because of that flag
day, but workarounds are described in that link.
Thanks Frank, this seems to be it.
I am on Solaris express CE build 54 and was building the bleeding edge
source.
The workaround didn't help much cause the grub that I have doesn't care
much for the new entries.
But I am now compiling build 54 + my stuff and this should do for me.
Thanks!
