zfs discuss - Jan 2010 - Solaris installation Exiting (caught signal 11 ) and reboot crashes

Hi ,
     I am trying to install solaris10 update8 on a san array using solaris 
jumpstart server . 
My configuration is 
- > san install on a array disk using Mellanox Infinihost card
-> Modified x86.miniroot with hermon and ib packages
-> Used solaris jumpstart server for installation
Installation is 100% done but at the end of it  i hit the following messages 
Installing boot information

Interestingly i am able to boot in failsafe mode and hermon 
is loading in that mode

Any clues are greatly appreciated

Hi Pradeep,
This is the ZFS forum. You might have better luck on the caiman-discuss
forum which is where the folks who work on the installers hang out.

Except, that''s not where the people who work on the legacy Solaris 10
installers hang out.  To engage those folks, you should open a support
ticket.
