Data GRUB Error - Solaris 10
Dear All,

I have installed Solaris 10 Virtual Machine through software SUN xVM Virtual Box. I have given it 512MB RAM.

I was not getting GRUB menu, so I googled few solutions and ran command
Code:
/sbin/installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0

Now GRUB menu is coming, but I am not able to boot my Solaris 10 machine.

I am getting this error.

I even tried reinstalling grub as given in section 3.2 of this article but is didn't helped. GNU GRUB Manual 0.97

I have tried both setup (hd0) and setup (hd0,0), but all in vain.
I got this error.

Vikas

installgrub is the way to go. I have tried to install the modified Solaris grub by using setup from the grub command line and it just is broken. But the Solaris docs say to use installgrub and that works. It lloks like it worked for you too. It found the Solaris kernel and tried to load it into memory. That is all we can ask of grub. Your problem is that the Solaris kernel does not fit. grub has no way to give you more memory or to shrink the Solaris kernel. 512 is the recommended minimum, but I have always used a system with 2 GB.

Buddy, it was previously running at 256MB RAM, moreover I have another virtual solaris instance running at 256MB RAM.
