A few weeks ago, I got a little problem with my solaris box, namely solaris won't boot because the boot archive was corrupt, *sigh*. Anyway the boot archive in solaris 10 was contain kernel module and configuration file was needed for solaris to startup the system.
Error:
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive error 3 bad or corrupt data while decompressing file
Workaround:
Boot up your solaris in "solaris failsafe mode", next solaris image will mount with writeable mode on "/a" mount point
sh> rm -f /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive sh> bootadm update-archive -R /a sh> reboot
Thanks very much for this info. It was the first link that came up in google and it worked perfectly!
You're welcome Patrick.
Thanks for the feedback.
*untungnya ni postingan dah gue ganti jadi make bahasa inggris, ;d*
Many many thanks Hendrawan,
I also got that error but its resolved.
hello Hendrawan
Thanks a lot for you help it was cool
@all: You're welcome guys, eniwey thanks for your feedback.
Thank you very much Hendrawan!!!You rocks:)
I started off with the same error (system was unable to completely update the boot-archive due to an issue with disk space), so I removed/rebuilt the boot-archive in failsafe mode. I still can't boot - instead of the initial O/S load message, the cursor just blinks and hangs. Any ideas?
@Evie: whether the problem with the disk space was already completed, for example removing unused files
Thanks a lot Hendrawan
Boot up your solaris in “solaris failsafe mode”, next solaris image will mount with writeable mode on “/a” mount point
sh> rm -f /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive
sh> bootadm update-archive -R /a
sh> reboot
Above steps resolved the issue but when I restarted server, error persist
Can somebody suggest permanent solution.
Thanks in advance
@praveen
You're welcome, it's good if it can work
@Sam
I write this things, cause this work for permanent solution, not for temporary (refer to bootadm update-archive -R),
other things, please check your root space
