Thanks to: Casper Dik Paul Galjan Andy Yother (Initial question at bottom of email.) Seems that the PROM upgrade is "normal" and I need to apply patch 106122-xx. Why this is just happening now is still a mystery to me. As far as the "swap: getexecname() failed" message, I was slightly off base. Although it could have been caused my a malformed vfstab file, it turns out it occurred during my cpio of my filesystem. The command "find . -mount -print | cpio -pdmuV /mnt" was used. The "-mount" option, which tells find not to follow mount points, did not copy the /proc and /dev/fs directories on to my target drive. Once I created those, Solaris ceased being grumpy.

If they do foul up, there's no law against whacking them around a little." -- Joe Martin --------%< snip >%--------- Gurus, Recently I posted a summary in reference to cloning my boot disks. I have just completed the cloning using David Glass's technique (mounting filesystems and using cpio), installed the boot-block and to test, restarted the system on the new clone. I have two immediate issues on boot: 1) I get a "swap: getexecname() failed". I'm pretty sure this has to do with a messed up vfstab. I'll have to look at it, AFTER I get by problem #2... 2) The system is asking me, if I want to update my PROM. It's also spouting of saying that if I don't, I won't be able to run 64-bit apps, although my 32-bit apps will run fine. This is the first time I've seen this. Originally, this E450 was a 2.6 installation that I've upgraded to 2.8 and just now cloned. Please help... _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Feb 12 16:00:29 2003
