Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org Hi, I'm having a fight getting both Linux and Solaris to boot on a Ultra 5. I first install Solaris using network custom JumpStart leaving partitions 5-7 (or 6-8 in Linux, or f-h in bootprom) un-used. Next I boot the latest UP 1.1.9 (says 1.2 at boot) from the network and install Linux in the free partitions: 6 = /dev/hda6 = / 7 = /dev/hda7 = /usr 8 = /dev/hda8 = swap SILO installs in block 0 of /dev/hda6 at the end of the installation procedure. In the OpenBoot prom I specify: nvalias linux /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3,0/disk@0,0:f and do a: boot linux Next I get: SILO fatal error: Unable to open filesystem Couldn't load /etc/silo.conf .... .... .... boot: Any idea what is going on here? Am I missing something? Best regards, -- Edwin H. Kremer, senior systems- and network administrator.
