Thanks for your suggestions... Turns out that the problem is caused by the loop-back fiber card that is installed in the system. The same card works in another system, but not in this one! The only way jumpstart will work is by removing the card all together. Thanks for your help Jez -----Original Message----- From: joe_fletcher@btconnect.com [mailto:joe_fletcher@btconnect.com] Sent: 22 August 2005 15:28 To: Jeremy Ahl Subject: Re: V880 boot problems You may find you need to update your jumpstart image. For example a base level Solaris 02/02 release will fail to boot a V880-900MHz system. Also, you need all the patches in the world to get the things to behave properly. Depending on the exact system you've got I'd be inclined to used a patched '04 release of Solaris as a startpoint. ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: Jeremy Ahl <Jeremy.Ahl@vivista.co.uk> To: "'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org'" <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> Subject: V880 boot problems Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 09:30:25 +0100 > > Hi all, > > Just received a pair of V880s, and put them both through > jumpstart, but one of them fails.
