After a lot of trying to mount, reboot, kill vold, restart vold and boot from install media, nothing suggested seemed to work. The server also would not boot from CD. Suggestions included: Mounting the CD manually. A vold troubleshooting guide. I switched off the mains supply for the machine in an effort to try everything from scratch, and hey-presto, all was OK once more. Solution: Mains power cycle, followed by boot -r. Bizarre.

I've just jumpstarted an E450, and found that I have no cdrom! # uname -a SunOS server1 5.7 Generic_106541-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4 # ls /cdrom /cdrom: No such file or directory # eject cdrom0 cdrom0: No such file or directory Both SUNWvolr and SUNWvolu are installed. I have a running vold process, and no entries in /var/adm/vold.log or in /var/adm/messages. I've not been able to find out if the system is missing any required packages, or if all devices were detected correctly. I did note that there was a bug with vold in 106541-14, but I've got a later kernel. Or perhaps this does still apply? Exactly which packages are required for removable media and vold to work correctly? Searching the archives & faq has not resulted in anything relevant.
