(IRIX and its quickstarting??)We''ve got a very well documented procedure for building your own kernel - see the developer reference links along the side of http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on. You don''t need to go to dlc.sun.com to get that - just pull in the source from hg.opensolaris.org, and follow the instructions in the developer reference. I can''t comment on how complicated or not our process is compared to the other OSes you mention. James C.

I used LUpdate to create a b114 BE on the spare X4540, and booted it, but alas, I get the following message on boot: SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_114 64-bit Copyright 1983-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Most annoying. If "su.static" really had been static I would be able
to
figure out what goes wrong.
When I boot into miniroot/failsafe it works just fine, including if I
set crle to use only libraries in /a/lib:/a/usr/lib (and 64 bit).
So startd not launching must be some other file/permission on disk
somewhere, but without single user shell, it isn''t easy to see why.
There is nothing in /var/{adm,log}. (But then, syslogd has not started
yet).
svc.startd.log merely states:
May 19 14:15:23/1: restarting after interruption
Perhaps it will work better if I just install from CD instead of using
LiveUpdate

I tried LUpdate 3 times with same result, burnt the ISO and installed the old fashioned way, and it boots fine. Jorgen Lundman wrote:> > > Most annoying.
