Hello,

problem by updating Solaris 10 x86 from U7 to U8 with Live Upgrade.

ZFS root mirrored on 2 disks, no zones, no separate /var.
Should be an easy job for live upgrade.

Yes, liveupgrade20 has been applied from the lofi mounted U8.
Yes, 121431-44, the Live Upgrade Patch is installed.

luupgrade fails with:

ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media failed;
pfinstall returned these diagnostics:
Processing profile
Loading local environment and services

Why does lucreate propagates /boot/grub/menu.lst?
It's a dummy, the real menu.lst is on /rpool/boot/grub.

Here are the details:

It would appear that Live Upgrade is unable to read the media.
examine the /mnt dir and make sure you see the normal directory
structure
for a Solaris dvd ie.

ultra20:/> lofiadm -a /sol-10-u7-ga-x86-dvd.iso
/dev/lofi/1
ultra20:/> mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
ultra20:/> ls /mnt

One more straw, is the md5 checksum for the iso correct?
