[zfs-discuss] xVM GRUB entry incorrect with ZFS root
I just ran live-upgrade of my system from nv94/UFS to nv96/ZFS on x86. nv96/ZFS boots okay. However, I can't boot the Solaris xVM partition as the GRUB entry does not contain the necessary magic to tell grub to use ZFS instead of UFS. Looking at the GRUB menu, it appears as though the flags -B $ZFS-BOOTFS are needed to be passed to the kernel. Is this something I can add to: kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz or is there some other mechanism required for booting Solaris xVM from ZFS ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

This was a bug that's now fixed in the latest LU regards john ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
