Cannot install GRUB or activate BE (solaris 11 x86)

Hello.
I've upraded my server from solaris express and also expanded rpool by adding then removing mirror. Now when I reboot I got just grub prompt and no any boot menu.
If I enter boot commands manually (root, bootfs, kernel$, etc), I can boot.
I have these BEs:
sergey@nas:~# beadm list
BE        Active Mountpoint Space  Policy Created
solaris   -      -          25.86M static 2011-04-18 20:00
solaris-1 R      -          10.79G static 2011-11-09 21:09
solaris-2 N      /          5.24G  static 2012-10-11 23:01
But if I try to activate latest, I get:
sergey@nas:~# beadm activate solaris-2
Device node is not a slice: /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
Unable to activate solaris-2.
Error installing boot files.
As my partitions are x86-like:
sergey@nas:~# zpool status rpool
pool: rpool

status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format.  The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'.  Once this is done, the
pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions.

config:
NAME         STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool        ONLINE       0     0     0
c10t3d0p1  ONLINE       0     0     0
errors: No known data errors
GRUB has the same pretension:
sergey@nas:~# installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
raw device must be a root slice (not s2)
Unable to gather device information for /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0p1
So I cannot do anything to reinstall GRUB and make him to see my menu
What can I do in this situation other than full reinstall from empty disk?

Can you describe how you were able to create a root pool in a p* device?
I don't think our installer allows you to do this. See the doc link from Darren.
Currently, a ZFS root pool is only supported on a disk slice, such as c10t3d0s0.
Our disk terminology is confusing:
cntndnpn = larger fdisk partition that contains a disk and disk slices
cntndn represents whole disk
cntndnsn represents a disk slice that is required for booting in this release
Thanks, Cindy

  • Craptastic, cannot install Grub, [Updated]

    I can't remember the voodoo I had to cast last time on this machine, but there is something weird about it.  The other machine I did recently is very straightforward.  It just works.  This one I can't install grub on, and I'm thinking possibly it's partition erroring or it expects some type of special thing to be done in a special order.  I just can't remember, and I've tried searching, and as always, liberally reading the documention.
    Here's the thing:  Arch in this case is going on a SCSI hard disk, alongside an IDE hard-drive with Windows XP on it, which has four partitions.  I tried both manually and automatically partitioning the SCSI disk.  It partitions fine, I go down the list like a good little boy performing normal operations, but then when Grub install time comes, it just craps out, with "Cannot install grub..blah...blah...check /dev/ttsy5" and because I have the partitions if I make any changes to them, the partitioning program gets posessed and throws partitions all over the drive, and then I have to zero-fill it, which is a 30-min wait per pop.
    It actually took me probably weeks to figure this out last time (a year after my first attempt with arch, I got lucky and it worked).  If nothing else, I would be grateful if somebody could advise me in great detail of an alternative method to install arch, since it appears my stupidity and my system has trouble with the install disk.
    Thanks!!!!

    Seriously need some help.  First off, chroot from another Live CD doesn't work either.  Knoppix is all I tried, but I personally don't want to sit around burning disks until I find one that works.  So, I need a critique of what specifically I'm doing.
    I've established thus far, that Noodle install works.  It's also somewhat of a pain to install such old software with lit candles, a bag of wiccan-enscribed bleached chicken bones, and a satanic pentagram just to play standards crossover with.  And I mean that in fun.  But I don't really want to do it, because it's both hard at first, but the "easy" way out.
    Where I want my drives=
    SCSI: Arch Linux.  Specifically proper udev root=sda1, swap=sda5, that's all there is to it.  I don't know why swap wants to be sda5, but I am unable to change that.
    IDE: Windows.  It has four partitions C:Windows Root, F:Swap, G:Storage, E:Storage
    What I have established as well, though is previously not divulged:
    From within Wombat's install shell
    $mount /dev/discs/disc1/part1 /mnt
    $mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev
    $mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
    $chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    $install-grub /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disc1/part1
    $exit
    ^^^Seems to install, but I don't know if it will boot becuase I had Noodle's kernel installed at the time.  So I think that's why it wouldn't boot.
    From within both Noodle and Knoppix shells
    $mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    $mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
    $mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
    $mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
    $chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    $install-grub /dev/hda /dev/sda1
    error
    When I could get a file to write?...ha, ha.
    Gonna try to remember the menu.lst file:
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd1,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro
    initrd /boot/initrd26.img
    And I have tried variations such as this:
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd0,0)<---this is wrong according to boot errors
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hdb1 ro
    initrd /initrd26.img #initrd /initrd26-full.img #initrd /boot/initrd-full.img
    Ha, ha.  Yeah, I think I found out that using another's install disk for the other's kernel doesn't really work, probably if they are very different kernels.  But I am still stuck on this.

    So, how should I proceed?
    TL/DR: I want a way to
    - Format ubuntu partition and remove it completely (including its own grub)
    - Install GRUB on Arch's partition, so that I can boot it after ubuntu's partition is removed.

    grub legacy numbers partitions from 0 , wherein (hd0,3) corresponds to /dev/sda4 (the extended partition in your disk). IN your case you should try (hd0,2) for /dev/sda3 (after changing the part type code to 0x83)

    Your question is not clear. But you can boot into Arch, install its grub2 package (recommended over grub legacy), install grub2 to /boot in Arch, and finally format ubuntu completely. Follow the Archwiki GRUB2 page. It explains everything.

  • Dual booting win 7 and arch: cannot install grub to partition

    I have read the arch wiki page on dual booting and several other sources on line, but I am still struggling to get this to work.
    I am trying to dual boot arch and windows 7 on my lenovo ideapad s205. the machine comes with windows 7 pre-installed.
    I shrank the win 7 partition and added an extended partition with 3 logical partions for /boot, swap, and /.
    I am able to install and run arch by installing grub to the mbr. when I do this, though, I cannot boot windows. (the windows section of grub menu.lst is uncommented and points toward hda0,0. I have tried hda 0,1 as well).
    I have also tried to use the windows boot loader to load arch, as described in the arch wiki page on dual booting. The problem here is that, taking this approach, I should install grub to my /boot partition, but when I try to do this, the installer only allows me to install grub to sda or sdb (the usb stick).
    I have read that grub should be able to boot linux from a logical partition. Is this so?
    Is there something wrong with the arch installer that it is not giving me the option of installing to a partition rather than the mbr, or is this  a problem with my partition scheme, or something else?
    I am tempted to remove lenovo's recovery system, but on the other hand, I have already needed to use it several times while monkeying around with installing arch.
    Thanks for any help.
    UPDATE:
    I now have the laptop dual-booting win 7 and arch. My solution ( adapted from here: http://helms-deep.cable.nu/~rwh/blog/?p=177) was to:
    1. installed arch on the partitions I had created for it, but skipped the "install bootloader" stage.
    2. in win 7, I downloaded and installed EasyBCD and made an entry for arch in it. I checked the option to "Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB"
    3. When I restarted, I got a grub error because the entry in grub's menu.lst was pointing at the wrong partitions for the kernel and root.
    4. So I went back into the arch live disk, mounted the boot partition and edited menu.lst.
    Now when I start the laptop, the windows boot loader starts and I can choose between win  7 and arch. when I select arch, grub4dos starts and gives me the option to start arch. this is not particularly elegant (nor is it fast), so I think this solution is less than ideal, but it does work.
    I'd be interestd in any thoughts about what went wrong and what a better solution would be.
    thanks.

    Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:
    # (2) Windows
    title Windows
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)

    chainloader +1
    What was yours?

  • [solved] Cannot install grub on Arch installation!

    I'm trying to install Arch on my new Laptop. Almost everything works fine until I come to the point where GRUB will be installed (to the MBR). Installaton fails and I'm told to have a look on tty5 for error messages. Doing so I read:
    grub> root (hd0,3)
    Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
    grub> setup (hd0)
    Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
    grub> quit
    AnyIdeas what I could do?
    By the way, I'm installing the 64Bit Version 0.8 on a computer that currently runs "bad, bad Vista". I'm going to kill Vista anyway, sooner or later, but I wanted to have a try on getting them both on one computer. Might that be a problem?

    The layout preset by the factory is the following:
    sda1: some sort of windows configuration backup blabla
    sda2: Vista System
    then there is roughly one gigabyte of free space then
    sda4: which was a preset ntfs partition for data
    I decided to turn 4 in arch root partition, leaving everyting else unchanged for an instance (no additional swap/boot partition).
    By the way, I tried to install Grub directly on partition 4 (it is an ext3 now), too afterwards, which failed with the same error.

  • Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

    hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
    # /bin/isainfo -kv
    and it gave me
    # 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
    instead of
    # 32-bit i386 kernel modules
    as the guide expected.
    please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
    thnx

    First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
    Example ls command
    $ which ls
    /usr/sbin/ls
    $ file /usr/sbin/ls
    It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

    And her's my question: what of the above do I actually need?

    I guess, it's clear that you need a valid support contract for your Hardware, otherwise your in troubles. A not so bad article about that you kind find at http://www.ypass.net/blog/2010/04/solaris-licensing-changes-the-real-story/
    4.) When you purchase hardware, you receive an addendum to the entitlement that grants that piece of hardware perpetual, non-transferable license and entitlement to Solaris.
    and additional ...
    Sun Servers with a Support Contract
    - For people running Solaris on Sun hardware with a Sun hardware support contract, your support contract grants you rights to run future versions of Solaris.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit.  NETCA won't run

    Hi All,
    I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    thanks, dave
