The USB stick is made from the standard USB image from genunix.org. I haven't checked, but I don't think it has a zpool on it, and even if it had it would not have been called rpool, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to import the rpool from the hard disk. I did not remove any splash image, I simply deleted the splash image line in menu.lst (on the hard disk) to avoid any confusion. I exported rpool just like I usually umount any UFS before I reboot. I dont' think it imposes any problem I don't think the GRUB hang was caused by a missing menu, but because it hang when it tries to find the menu - remember "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" hang? I think that's why GRUB hang. I just removed USB stick and the extra disk, so I only have one disk left. When I boot from it, it hangs at GRUB prompt again. So basically this sympton doesn't have any thing to do with the USB stick or the extra disk. Is there a debug version of GRUB that can be installed that can produce more verbose output?
Following are known: - The rpool is fine (it could boot with some effort) - The O/S is fine (same reason) - GRUB is partially good (it can find rpool and boot from HD with some effort) - GRUB hangs trying to find menu.lst file Thx, Sean -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
