Hi, I am having problem booting from the zfs filesystem with compression set to gzip. I netinstalled machine and switched the compression to gzip during early installation stages. After the installation I am getting straight to the GRUB prompt instead of the normal menu. The attempt to manually enter the kernel$ and module$ directive ends up with "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format." message. Am I trying to do something unsupported or known to not work ? -- Regards, Cyril

In the meantime, lzjb should work just fine (albeit with lower compression ratio). - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock
