I''ve hit this bug on my home machine couple of times and finally decided to log it since I''ve spend 2 days configuring my "OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86" and after installing the SUNWsmbfskr package I ended up in the grub> menu. The package contains a necessary module for CIFS. After pkg install SUNWsmbfskr, I rebooted the box. There was no grub menu anymore

Hello, on a v20z, we have as DOM 0 a Solaris XEN on snv44 64bits and we have as DOM U a Solaris XEN on snv44 64 bits. We then install a pseudo driver in the Solaris DOM 1 XEN snv44: installation is ok and driver works as expected. But on reboot of DOM 1, the driver is no more there (in modinfo, driver not found). Is there something special to do after a pseudo driver installation in a Solaris

Hello, I recently installed SunOS 5.11 snv_91 onto a Ultra 60 UPA/PCI with OpenBoot 3.31 and two 300GB SCSI disks. The root file system is UFS on c0t0d0s0. Following the steps in ZFS Admin I have attempted to convert root to ZFS utilizing c0t1d0s0. However, upon "init 6" I am always presented with: Bad magic number in disk label can''t open disk label package My Steps: 1)

Hi, I am trying a setup with a Linux Xen Dom0 on which runs an OpenSolaris 2008.05 DomU. I have 8 hard disk partitions that I exported to the DomU (they are visible as c4d[1-8]p0) I have created a raidz2 pool on these virtual disks. Now, if I shutdown the system and I start it again, the pool is not automatically imported during the boot. If I type zpool status, I can''t see it, so I do a

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

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. Here are the basics: dom0 - CentOS 5.2 32-bit Xen 3.2.1 compiles from source domU - os200805.iso The install config: [root@internetpowagroup oshman]# cat opensolaris.install name =

Hello, I''ve installed a OpenSolaris dom0 snv_44 on a x4100 server, and booted a 32-bit xen kernel. I''m trying to create a OpenSolaris DOMU (snv_44) by following the howto described at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/howto/create-osox-domu/. I did not manage to create a diskless environment by using SUNWCXall. I''ve created SUNWCreq instead and add the

Hi -- I wanted to boot s10 HVM in 64-bit mode but it always boots in 32-bit mode. Is there a special grub entry to boot s10 HVM domU in 64-bit mode? Or is it HVM loader?

Hi, I''m trying to create OpenSolaris (2008.11) domU on RedHat Linux dom0. I''m using a file backed VBD. I used the iso image to first launch and install OpenSolaris into the file VBD.

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

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub
