[OpenIndiana-discuss] upgrading from svn_111b to OpenIndiana

[Didier Carlier]

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade a system running OpenSolaris svn_111b to OpenIndiana, the procedure on the wiki recommends to first upgrade to svn_134.
I did that, the upgrade went well, the system then reboots on svn_134, but when I try to reboot (a second time) the svn_134 it fails.


~# uname -a
SunOS ns61381 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
~# init 6

updating /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive
updating /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not this fstype
mount: /dev/lofi/2 is not this fstype
umount: warning: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.32 not in mnttab
umount: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.32 not mounted
//boot/solaris/bin/create_ramdisk[555]: create_archive[391]: rmdir: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.32: cannot remove [File exists]
umount: warning: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.64 not in mnttab
umount: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.64 not mounted
//boot/solaris/bin/create_ramdisk[556]: create_archive[391]: rmdir: /tmp/create_ramdisk.463.tmp/rd.mount.64: cannot remove [File exists]


After that the system fails to boot with the error message :
"failed to mount ramdisk from boot"

If instead of just rebooting svn_134, I upgrade to OpenIndiana, the error is the same. 
It looks like the boot archive is corrupted when running "init 6" on svn_134.

Any hint greatly appreciated...
