Hi everyone, Today, I updated my OpenSolaris from v2008.11 to v2009.06 and I got a big problem.
After I ran the command $ pkg image-update OpenSolaris could successfully download, install and index; however, there was a warning kind of boot-archive unable to create. In the end, it said that OpenSolaris could successfully update, rebooted: "A clone of opensolaris exists and has been updated and activated. On next boot the Boot Environment opensolaris-1 will be mounted on '/'. Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE." I checked in BE which now had 2 BEs: opensolaris-1 (old BE) and opensolaris-2(new BE) However, after rebooting,when I chose either boot from opensolaris-1 or opensolaris-2, OpenSolaris stood still at the stage (when there was a wallpaper and a slide bar in the middle of the screen). I try to boot OpenSolaris manually by grub> bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 grub> kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS grub> module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive At this stage, everything was OK. However, after I ran grub> boot Still, OpenSolaris remained hanging :( I wonder what happened? Is there any problem with boot archive? Please help me figure out this problem . I have a lot of important data in OpenSolaris. Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
