I've tried with all the partitions of that disk a thru h: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0 /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:b /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:c ... and get the same error: Rebooting with command: boot disk:a Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a File and args: The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. I don't really know what is wrong here. Jurzitza, Dieter wrote:
Hi Ivan, from what I read from your mail and given that /dev/sda1 is your root partition (containing /boot as well) I'd guess that you ought to test (in openboot): probe-scsi-all You are trying to boot like: Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0 this refers to the SCSI ID 0 on controller 2 but you do not specify the apropriate partition. So what you need to test is: probe-scsi-all what ought to give you something like /pci@1f,4000,scsi@3,1 Target 1 Unit 0 Disk IBM DGVS09U 03B0 /pci@1f,4000,scsi@3 Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Read Only device If you want to boot of one of those you hafe to specify: boot /pci@1f,4000,scsi@3,1/disk@1,0:f (harddisk) boot /pci@1f,4000,scsi@3,1/disk@6,0:f (cdrom) This gives: -> pci - device at 1f, 4000 scsi@3,1 *external* Controller channel disk@1 harddisk with scsi-id 1 ,0 LUN 0 :f Partition F this can constantly be integrated by setting nvalias /pci@1f,4000,scsi@3,1/disk@1,0:f extdisk being "extdisk" an example. The variables can be printed via the command "devalias" In general: Strg-P returns the last commandline in openboot (as "little" help). Hope this helps, take care Dieter Jurzitza
