Hi, Has anyone been successful in booting the live 2008.05 distribution from USB stick instead of CD ?
I have created a bootable USB stick from the 2008.05 CD using the method described in: http://blogs.sun.com/anilg/date/20080428 When I plug the USB stick into my laptop (Asus Eee PC) and boot I get the normal grub menu and can choose GUI or console log in. After selecting any of these options and continuing I get warning messages of type: WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],7/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (sd1): Command failed to complete...Device is gone : and then end up with: "Requesting System Maintenance Mode (See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.) Console login service(s) cannot run" Based on these warnings it looks like the open solaris loader suddenly loses contact with the install media (USB stick, [EMAIL PROTECTED],7) I know that the USB port is good as I can successfully boot Live Knoppix Linux from a USB stick on the same port. Is there any boot options that can get the warning messages to be written in a file? Right now, all messages just scroll up too quickly for reading so it's hard to see what is the first error message. Nothing was written in /var/log/syslog in the mini root system I end up in. I have also added -v as a boot option. Any suggestions on how to debug this problem would be appreciated. /KarlD -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
