Subject: Desperate after upgrading OBP from 3.11 to 3.31
Date: Sat, 09 Jul 2005 22:12:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42D04BC9.9060105@dhcp.net> (raw)
Hello all,
I've upgraded my OBP from 3.11 to 3.31 and now my SUN won't boot
anymore. Whatever I try at the 'ok' prompt has no effect, it keeps
saying 'The file just loaded does not appear to be executable'. I've
tried pretty much all versions of 'boot disk#:#' by now. The system in
question is a SUN Ultra10, 300MHz, 320MB RAM, 40GB HD Maxtor 6E040L.
Partition layout:
<snip>
Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc (Sun disk label): 16 heads,
63 sectors, 16383 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

As you can see, I can boot fine from CD...
My SILO configuration:
<snip>
partition=1
root=/dev/hda2
timeout\x10
device=/dev/hda
image=/boot/2.6.12
label=linux
image=/boot/2.6.12-old
label=old
</snip>
This is all correct:
<snip>
livecd ~ # ls /boot/
2.6.12 System.map System.map-2.6.12-old fd.b generic.b
isofs.b old.b silo.conf ultra.b
2.6.12-old System.map-2.6.12 boot first.b ieee32.b
lost+found second.b silotftp.b
</snip>
Running SILO yields no errors... Can someone please help? There has to
be a simple way of fixing this, and I really don't believe I'm the only
one who has ever had this problem either. I've already spent 5(!) hours
reading every single search result I could find on Google and on the
Gentoo forums about this... My SUN is pretty much dead in the water
right now, as I don't feel like booting from a LiveCD just to get it
beyond the OpenBoot POST.
Kind regards,
Arnim Eijkhoudt
