Error 25:Disk Read Error
Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone has seen/has a fix for this, when i try boot my system from CDROM at the solaris/ttya/ttyb selection menu i get stuck in a loop:

kernel$ /boot/multiboot kernel/$isadir/unix -B install_media=cdrom,console=ttya
loading "/boot/multiboot kernel/$isadir/unix -B install_media=cdrom,console=ttya"

Error 25: disk read error
booting command-list

Press any key to continue.....

I hit 'return' and it brought me back to the initial solaris/ttya/ttyb selection, I selected oracle solaris and tried to continue but it just seemed to stall for a few minutes before returning me back to the 3 options again.

Apparently this is linked to a Bug 6513165: "Error 25: Disk read error", when booting from and external usb dvd device.


Description
==============
snv_50 starts loading GRUB from the USB DVD device, but fails the open of the /boot/grub/menu.lst file on the USB DVD, and enters GRUB command line mode. Any attempt to read files from the USB DVD (e.g. cat /<TAB>) fails with "Error 25: Disk read error".

Workaround
Suggested fix:
==============
- Do not use "int13 installation check" with the el-torito boot device.
- Do not reset the disk system


Has anyone fixed this before? at the moment I have no OS only an ilom.

Cheers.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.
