Hi all,
I replaced the failed IDE hard drive of a SUN Ultra-10 workstation with a
Seagate IDE hard drive borrowed from an Ultra-5 that is not being used
anymore. I installed Solaris 2.7 from CD, and all went fine during
installation. I can mount ok the root amd home partitions, while booted
from the CD. The contents of the root partition look normal, and I can
modify any configuration file that I wish.
When I try to boot from the hard drive though, here is what happens:
INITSH: /sbin/rcS: cannot execute
INIT: Cannot create: /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
INIT: single user mode
Once, I get into single user mode, I can't write anything to the disk.
Here are some examples:
$ touch /tmp/test
touch: /test cannot create
$ touch /test
touch: /tmp/test cannot create
$ df -k /
fsrdlock_mnttab: open /etc/.mnttab.lock: No such file or directory
Here is the root entry from /etc/vfstab
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
Please, let me know if you need me to provide more info.
I would really appreciate your input,
George P.
