hello
Im having lots of grief trying to get solaris x86-06-06 installed into
some new x4200s
The machines came preinstalled with
Solaris 10 3/05 HW1 s10x_wos_74L2a X86
and we want to do a clean install of Solaris 10 x86-06-06
We are using JET 4.3.
Our first problem was panic just after grub loading up.
I think we have found the solution to that problem.
after grub loaded we were getting this error
File not executable.
panic: not entroy point in
Press any key to reboot

now after a day of diging around i found this article on the Opensolaris
forums as a bug id
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6351286

(No Answer)
I ran into the same panic and found a work around by removing the
"boot-args=' -install'", off the add_install_client cmd, this fixed the
panic and I was able to get my machine jumpstarted.
Just updating to explain my final solution to fixing my jumpstart server &
my x86 S10u1 on x4200's from panic. When I add a client for example:
./add_install_client -d e macaddr -c ipadd_of_jumpstartserver:/jumpstart
-p ipadd_of_jumpstartserver:/jumpstart/sysidcfg_dir -s
ipadd_of_jumpstartserver:/jumpstart/Solaris_images i86pc
no matter what I tried with the x86 -b boot-arg options it always would
cause the machine to panic. So my work around is to manually modify the
/tftpboot/menu.lst.01MACaddr to add a " - install " after 'unix' and before
the "-B install....." - this fixes the problem of x86 machines prompting
for what type of install and goes directly to 'Custom Jumpstart' with out a
prompt and does not panic.

so i changed our menu item to look like this

default=0
timeout=30

boot-args=\'',confflags=\'\',console=ttya,install_config=10.134.52.25

module /I86PC.Solaris_10-3/x86.miniroot

now its booting solaris fine but it hangs here
any ideas on how i debug this further?
