Just an idea
Does it crash at the point where you would expect Gnome to come up ? If
so could be your Nvidia GE218. The Nvidia driver shipped with OI_148
certainly crashes with my GE220. However the live CD loads OK with the
VESA option chosen. There was a bug in the earlier Nvidia drivers
Hello Andrew,
I've just done a fresh install of Openindiana and noticed
that the installer recognized an attached USB disk when it asked me where I
wanted to install. I didn't use it but can you not just go ahead if it sees the
disk ?
As a related matter I need WinXP for
Hello,
I'm back at this - problem with pool_rpool continues. I get nothing
from using touch as per your email below
jack@opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool import -f rpool
jack@opensolaris:~$ pfexec mkdir /a
jack@opensolaris:~$ pfexec beadm mount 0i_148-2 /a
jack@opensolaris:~$ pfexec touch
Apostolos has been helping me with a broken OI installation - hence
the thread title OI boot problem which I started last week; sometime
yesterday that thread was partially diverted into commentary about the virtues
of shutdown, reboot, init etc. - irrelevant to my question. shutdown
something here (probably quite a lot) but I don't see
what to try next. If anything looks wrong in the above, or any suggestions as
how to boot 0i_148-2 please tell me!

Thanks - I've tried what you suggest but as noted above reboot just leads to
the black screen with GRUB_.
In the scenario of my previous post, if I do
pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /a/b
I get
bootadm: missing /boot/grub on root: /a/b
and I don't know how to fix that.

You know that the reboot command isn't the safe way to reboot a Solaris system

The only thing I'm not sure about is how `beadm mount` goes at mounting boot
environments from another pool.
Hope that helps somewhat,

Since last October I've had OI 147/148 running on a new home PC. A while ago I
attempted to mirror it. All seemed good though I didn't fully check that the
mirror booted (silly me etc. - this is a home PC). Then the worst happened and
the new drive where OI was installed failed. So I'm left

Thanks for the advice - I'll keep looking. The Lexmark's look
attractive (Model 544DN and relatives) but the spec details show Sparc
8,9,10 and X86-Solaris 10, but no sign of Solaris 11.

(if I remember rightly). It's a shame
as this card is a) cheap and b) looks pretty good when it does its stuff
under WinXP.
The other downside is that most of the Screensavers shipped with OI
don't work for me.
Best of luck

Edward,
The system dies at the point you would expect Gnome to
fire up - that's the effect of the kernel bug. But you can start OI if
you choose the VESA option, and from there you can switch to the NV
driver which comes with OI, which is what I've done. Illumos are aware
of
they ?); if it works for anything else that's a bonus. The
alternative seems to be the way that was once the only way - hardware
and OS from the same manufacturer, and priced accordingly (look at Apple
Mac)
Regards

If illumos know about it, we can look at fixing it.
OI + illumos != Solaris 11 :D
