Hi,
my problem is, that it is not possible to boot oi-dev-151a7-ai-x86.usb into
64-bit mode on the system I would like running openindiana on.
It comes up in 32-bit mode only.
On the download site there is a hint:
All downloads support both 32-bit and 64-bit
How did you determine that you are running in 32-bit? What is the output
of isainfo -kv? If it prints something like:
# isainfo -kv
64-bit amd64 kernel modules
Then you *are* running 64-bit.
Anyways, should you need to enforce 64-bit for whatever reason, it can
be easily done by instructing the
Sorry, I noticed that my post is irrelevant, I only skimmed your e-mail.
If the ISO or USB installer only include the 32-bit kernel, then you
cannot by definition boot into 64-bit mode (since there's no 64-bit
kernel to load).
Also, why would you want to boot the installer in 64-bit mode? The
Also, why would you want to boot the installer in 64-bit mode? The
functionality of either kernel is identical. It's the performance that
differs in 32/64-bit and that isn't really a concern for the *installer*
image.
Because I have two 2TB disks installed, it is not possible to run the
Assuming you simply want to install rather than create a 64 bit bootable flash
drive, a workaround would be to use the LiveDVD and a USB optical disk drive.
I did the install on my N40L w/ 3x2 TB disks that way. Only problem was the
installer not allowing me to create slices in the Solaris
I found myself a workaround. Very awkward, but it is working so far.
- make a USB Boot Device using oi-dev-151a7-ai-x86.usb
- install openindiana in 32 bit mode on a 8GB USB flash drive
after installation has finished and rebooting the system 64 bit kernel is
available:
