Fast Data Access MMU Miss

For whatever reason it's not trying to boot from the right disk.

And this suggests it might be caused by a bad bootblock.

Try rewriting the bootblock. You know how to do this.

I tried reset-all, and boot -r ...

{1} ok boot -r
Boot device: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a File and args: -r

Can't open boot_archive

The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
{1} ok boot -r
ERROR: /pci@1c,600000: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss


Amazing ! first time this gives "Can't open boot_archive" and second time "Fast Data Access MMU Miss"

Okay, I didn't think that solaris 10U6 used a boot archive, but......

let's try and update it and see what it says........error or no error?

Boot from CD and mount your harddisk root filesystem under /a
then.....

Code:
 
bootadm update-archive -v -R /a

I would expect it to say something like "not a boot archive based system" but let's wait and see.

something wrong with command :

Code:
# bootadm update_archive -v -R /a
USAGE:
        bootadm update-archive [-vn] [-R altroot [-p platform>]]
        bootadm list-archive [-R altroot [-p platform>]]
        bootadm set-menu [-R altroot] key=value
        bootadm list-menu [-R altroot]

Yea, right.

Do as it says......use update-archive NOT update_archive.

sorry!

(Have corrected typo in previous post.)

Correct !

# bootadm update-archive -v -R /a
system not archive-based -no boot block
/a/: not a boot archive based Solaris instance

This is Solaris 10 U9, My mistake !!

Was the system that you restored from ufsdump(s) Solaris 10 U9???

If not, then perhaps we have a mix of two versions now!

---------- Post updated at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:48 PM ----------

If we do have two versions mixed now, it might be worth trying to "upgrade" Solaris.

Code:
 
boot cdrom

See if it offers you the upgrade option and, if so, take it.
That should sort it.
