I had to use a different BE to boot up the system. I''ve tried to repair boot_archive from the rp01 BE but unsuccessfully every time ending up in the grub menu forced to manually boot the system using a differe...

...is my pool that I can import, so I import it and it works. But I wonder why it isn''t imported automatically. How is managed the pool import during bootup ? Does solaris try to import every single pool that''s available, or does it read some list from a file somewhere (possibly the boot_archive) ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Thanks to everyone who works on the opensolaris project. I think it would be helpful to update the documentation on this page: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/linux-dom0/ The crucial steps of mounting the boot environment, updating the boot_archive, copying the boot_archive back to dom0, finding the ZFS-ID of the boot environment, and finally adding that ZFS-ID to the kernel parameters in the xen config file are not mentioned.

Let me thank everyone in advance. I''ve read a number of posts here and it helped tremendously in getting the install done. I have a couple of remaining issues which I can''t seem to overcome.

Hi, I have installed b_78 on a Dell 2950 and booting to bare metal works fine but when I try to boot using the grub entry Solaris xVM it will boot to the point where it displays the uname info and then just stays there. It will not boot past that point. I have enabled VT technology in the BIOS (but only after the installation). Where/what can I look at to trouble shoot this? I am new to xen and
