zoneadm attach Fails and Mount Operation is Invalid
for Branded Zones (6800618)
Attach operation fails on branded zones, although it succeeds on native (Solaris 10) zones. The
following error message is displayed:
zone mount operation is invalid for branded zones.
Cannot generate the information needed to attach this zone.
Workaround: Use the attach -F command for non-native branded zones. For more
information on this procedure, see System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers--Resource
Management and Solaris Zones.
x86: Unable to Use reboot Command to Boot 32-Bit
Kernel (6741682)
The bootadm command fails to construct a properly formatted GRUB menu entry when you
boot a system in the 32-bit mode by using the following commands:
■
reboot kernel/unix
■
reboot -- -r
As a result, the system boots in the 64-bit mode. The faulty menu.lst le might appear as
follows:
findroot rootfs0
kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
In the previous example, the kernel line does not contain the multiboot information and is
therefore incorrect. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst le manually and add the following information:
title Solaris 10 10/08
findroot rootfs0
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
After making these changes, the system boots in the 32-bit mode.
Note – The changes you make to the menu.lst le persist over system reboots.
Alternately, you can edit the GRUB menu at boot time, adding the kernel/unix boot
argument, as shown in the following example:
