[OpenIndiana-discuss] krtld failed to open, again...

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Wow!!!! Jim you saved me! :)) I found around 20 entries in menu.lst, removed 10 and now it boots!!!! :))))
Also, you saved my original boot SSD that I thought to be corrupted and not safe to use.
I'm sure I can do the same on it and it will boot again too!
Thanks so much Jim!
Question: how can we be warned by the system about a possible too big menu.lst before "the happening"?

Thanks, I will check this.
Anyway I'm still not sure the problem can be the grub, because grub
loads, shows the boot environments, let me choose the active one, and
then here it fails when running any be.
Do you still think installgrub can fix it?

Thanks Nikola, I think it may be caused by a power down here that
turned off the machine not behind an ups.
Machine is a NAS like machine, with 4 sata disks and an SSD.
Because SSD failed once with a similar problem, I didn't feel safe
using it again as boot, so I reinstalled on a free small SATA, keeping
dev data on a raidz pool of 3 sata.
Now the same with the sata boot...
It's not the first time I have machines going down for power failure,
but never lost a zpool.
Actually, the rpool can be imported, but just can't boot showing those
grabled unix path error.
I tried booting from DVD, shell, mounting rpool on /a and forcing a
rebuild via bootadm update-archive -R /a -v : archive were correctly
rebuilt, but still can't boot, looking for a garbled unix path.
How can I just reinstall grub keeping the rpool safe? Will it keep my
boot environments?
Thanks!

Firstly backup everything if not already, to external HD, that could be
detached physically.
See if this helps:

Just in case: how many grub menu entries do you have? Maybe you're hitting its RAM constraint? Roughly 25 entries are too many, and it overflows...
If this matches, try booting from a livedvd again and edit the rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst (IIRC OTOH).
Hope this helps,
Jim
