See Grub menu on console

We have some Dell 860's running Sol10-1106, everything goes smoothly except for getting the Grub menu/splashscreen to display on console. This is somewhat important as they will be across the world and we need grub to select the root disk mirror if the primary goes bad.
I've tried setting:
eeprom console=ttya
and (separately, as all comments say is bad to have them together) setting menu.lst options to redirect display:
serial unit=0 speed=9600
terminal serial
I know this is the correct menu.lst as the kernel flag to redirect standard information to console:
-B console=ttya
works there. Neither works, I see nothing on the console until the OS begins booting. After that console works perfectly.
Any ideas?

Can see windows file system, its in the grub menu, can't load it.

Hello.
I can mount and access my window file system. I can also see it's entry in the grub menu, but I cannot load it.
I used os-prober to detect the windows installation and then install grub.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

After you run

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
are there any errors during the mkconfig -o usually its says found this os then this os using os prober. Are you seeing all the os currently installed on your partitions?

Luactivate 'succeeds' but then new BE does not show up in GRUB menu

Hi,
I'm trying to do a live upgrade from S10 u6 to u7.
The machine is a Sun v20z (which is an x64 box).
The only file system is ZFS, which consists of two drives that forming one pool, "rpool".
I use the Service Processor/LOM over SSH to monitor the status of the console and GRUB menu.
I did everything as directed and everything seemed to check out OK, but no matter what, the new BE never shows up on the GRUB menu! It's driving me nuts! PLEASE HELP!

What happens when you create a new BE using the current BE without any changes (just making a bootable copy of the current BE)? What is the results of cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst? If you do a lufslist bootenvname, do all of the indicated filesystems actually exist?

How to stop the boot process after the GRUB menu?

Hello there.
I am getting an error message in the boot process, after the GRUB menu, but I can't read completely the message because it is shown too fast. So, how can I stop the process when I see the error message, for writing down it?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
It is explained in the systemd manual:

[SOLVED - Doh!] New kernel doesn't show up in grub menu

I've decided to play around with a new kernel, so I followed the instructions in the wiki for building the linux-pf kernel (ie, used the AUR). Although it doesn't include this step, I also ran grub-mkconfig. I can see a new Linux kernel in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
However, it doesn't show up in the Grub menu when I reboot. I don't see any other step in the wiki, for either linux kernels or grub. What am I missing?

@op - If you see it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that is the file grub is reading, you will see it when grub goes live. Do you have a separate /boot partition and did you have it mounted when you updated the config? I'm guess you didn't and your config went on the root file system under /boot rather than to a mounted filesystem mount in /boot.

Grub Menu Help

Hi
I have a system currently running with a RAID 1 pair of hard disks running Solaris 10 X86. These are located in slots 0 and 1 and are currently bootable. I would like to add another RAID 1 pair of disks also running Solaris 10 X86 to slots 2 and 3 and boot to them also. My aim is to have a dual boot system running 2 instances of Solaris 10, separate RAID 1 pair disks for each OS instance. I have updated the menu.lst on the 1st pair of RAID 1 disk to incorporate the below:
title Solaris 10 5/08 1st-RAID1-PAIR
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris 10 5/08 2nd-RAID1-PAIR
root (hd2,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
When booting I see the option to select the 2nd-RAID1-PAIR of disks in the grub menu, but I cannot boot the 2nd Raid 1 PAIR. If I change the root line to (hd1,0,a) or hd0,0,a) then it boots the 1st-RAID1-PAIR. Can anyone spread some light on what I am doing wrong or what the HD value should be?

I am currently using an Arch grub legacy on the mbr to boot 2 grub2 systems.
Here is the menu.lst entry for my new arch install, which uses systemd and grub2:
title Arch Linux 1
root (hd1,0)
kernel /grub/i386-pc/core.img
That install has a separate /boot partition which is the first partition on my second drive, sdb1 or (hd1,0) in grub legacy-speak. Without the separate boot partition, the entry would use
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
This menu.lst entry boots Fedora 17 (also grub2 & systemd) which is all on a single partition at sdb6, or (hd1,5) in grub legacy's terms:
title Fedora 17
root (hd1,5)
chainloader +1
Both of these methods work. The Fedora entry works across kernel updates, not sure about the core.img method as there hasn't been a kernel update there yet.

GRUB menu only shows memtest

While trying to deal with the Intel microcode change, I seem to have screwed up grub. I thought I followed the wiki instructions, but now when I boot, I just get the grub menu with only memtest listed.
Is there a way to fix it from the grub command line? I can't find my boot CD, and I don't have a handy way of burning another.
Thanks for any help!

Hi morganmay,
The error you see should not prevent your system from booting (read the note here)
However, when you used grub-mkconfig from the Arch install disk, did you remember to mount your partitions and to chroot into your system?

Can not see the menu of New Business Components Package in jdeveloper

I am just follow the developer guide.
and when I create the Business Components Package, the guide said that
========================================
In the JDeveloper Navigator, select the OA Project where you want to create your package.
From the main menu, choose File > New to open the New Object Gallery.
In the Categories tree, expand the Business Tier node, and select Business Components (BC4J).
In the Items list, select Business Components Package to open the Business Components Package Wizard. You can also right-click on the OA Project and select New Business Components Package to navigate directly to the Business Components Package Wizard.
=====================================
In fact I can not see the menu about Business Components (BC4J) in the File/new/buisness tier/Business Components (BC4J).
I can only see the File/new/buisness tier/ADF Business Components.
And can not find the "Business Components Package" under ADF Business Components either.
I am using the JDev Extension for OA (p5856648_R12_GENERIC.zip) and EBS 12.0.0.
And I create an OA Workspace and OA Project.
can anyone help?

Cannot see context menu for XML messages with Safari and Google Chrome

Hi All,
I am unable to see Context menu with the option of Create, Edit, Delete etc. for KM messages. This problem persists with Safari, Chrome and IE9 browsers. This thing works fine on IE7 and IE8 browesrs.
On clicking History and Options buttondoesn't perform any action i.e. we cannot see the list of options when clicking on those. This problem also persists with the above mentioned browsers.
Also, with IE9 , I am unable to create New message when clicking on New button. The XML form doesnt open on the button click.
The portal version I am using is EP 7.0.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello Archana,
You should check the PAM to see if your browser is supported with your current EP verison.

I'm learning iMovie (version 10.0.6) I can no longer see the menu at the left bottom side (the title, iTunes, garageband, etc.) Did I hit a button to accidentally hide it or something?

I'm learning iMovie (version 10.0.6), in OS Yosemite, I can no longer see the menu at the left bottom side (the title, iTunes, garageband, etc.) Did I hit a button to accidentally hide it or something? I imported my media and all of a sudden the menu was gone. I closed it and reopened it. Switched the screen view, still no menu.

Thanks for replying dominic23.....but I don't see that button anywhere. I did click a button that says "video and audio effects", and nothing happened.

[SOLVED]Unable to install grub "couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst"

Ok so I was trying to install windows after I had arch installed, used an ubuntu cd to use gparted to create a partition, tried to go to the windows installation but it would endlessly send me back to restart the installation even after succesfully writting all files...
So now I decided to not install it, went back into ubuntu/gparted, deleted the partition and rejoined the space with my main arch partition and then selected the "boot" flag to boot...
Cannot boot, grub its still on /boot/ but the MBR its obviously tempered with by windows ( which coincidentally couldn't even find itself after writing mbr to its liking....*sigh* ).
So I try to use my arch install cd to reinstall grub but i get this:
"couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst is grub installed?"
I tried to use the select packages thing to make sure the cd is mounted and mounts fine but it keeps getting me that error message. I managed to boot to my system just fine with arch root=/dev/sda1 but obviosly the kernell does not has my nvidia module which means I can't get into x which means i am using links and since my grub is not loaded i can't even get framebuffer so this is rather inconvenient.
Im sure im missing a very simple and stupid thing but im so annoyed my brain must be saying "ok im done somebody else figure it out". I still have a backup copy of my grub menu.lst I made before. Do I just delete /bood/grub/ and try again? Am I missing something on the install procedure to be able to rewrite grub? Can I just do it from the command line or with pacman? Any help appreciate it thanks.

If you can get into your arch and cli then you should just be able to reinstall grub with
install-grub /dev/sda
or reinstall grub with
pacman -S grub
if the package is messed up or missing.

See Grub menu on console
