I was able to install os0805 into a USB stick and boot from it. It works really great. However, after image-updating to build 95, I am only seeing the GRUB prompt. I have also installed the 0811_95 LiveDVD into a USB stick, but the machine just keeps rebooting itself. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
Hello all, Did you make a install on the USB stick, or did you use the Distribution Constructor (DC)? Leal. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
> Hello all, > Did you make a install on the USB stick, or did you > use the Distribution Constructor (DC)? > > Leal.I did the both of: (1) install os0805 (build 86) LiveCD on a USB stick, boot from the USB stick, image-update to build 95, then reboot (cold or warm) failed. (2) Install os0811-preview, build 95, LiveDVD, installation went OK, but boot failed (showing only GRUB prompt). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
did you follow the instructions for updating grub after the image-update: <http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=277115&tstart=0> -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
> did you follow the instructions for updating grub > after the image-update: > > <http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=277 > 115&tstart=0>Yes. Also there is no need to do the grub update when directly installed from the os0811_95 LiveDVD. Further, compared to the USB stick, I don''t have any problem booting from an external USB HD. The following comment was made in the HELP Forum: "I really wish some of our zfs experts will figure out why I can''s boot os0811 from a USB stick. "One of the best demos you can do which will impress the heck out of everyone is to install os0805 with RAID-Z on your notebook with two USB sticks. OpenSolaris has its share of pros and cons, and at the present time, there are probably more cons than pros. But this is the ONE trick that will silence any critic. This is the CHOSEN one, man, and we are so proud to be its messengers." -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
