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 ?

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
