Hi, Thanks every one for reply. Finally after many tries and experiments I've figured out what is going on: Every time I've been creating a flar archive it was over 5GB... I've compared 2 systems the current one, and another one which was created from very similar archive. The only meaningful difference was size. I decided to remove packages and patches that I've stored in /var/tmp for the installation (I didn't do this earlier because I was in hurry and just performed the flar creation) Finally my flar image has size: # ls -l sun4v.flar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3873630475 Aug 26 02:00 sun4v.flar The earlier flar of working system have : 4647995016 So I assume that the safe size is somewhere below 5GB. Have you experienced such limitation? I tried to find out sth on the Suns manuals and on google, but there is nothing about it.... Maybe if I will have some strength tomorrow I will experiment with "-L pax" Regards Tomek Tomasz Ostrowski Nokia Siemens Networks OPS Integrated OEM and Digital Supply Mobile(temporary): +49 15 222 4353 11 Hello All, At the firs time when I saw the message: Boot device: /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/disk@1,0:a File and args: Boot load failed. The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. I thought - my flar is corrupted so I've created another one, this is what I do: -Installing Solaris from DVD 08/07 -installing additional packages (java perl, firefox.....) - boot -s - installing Patch Cluster: NAME: Solaris 10 Recommended Patch Cluster DATE: May/13/08 -reboot -- -r -boot -s - installing additional patches: 116837-03 118666-16 118667-16 118777-12 119044-03 119059-44 119059-45 119115-34 119213-17 119252-22 119280-17 119470-13 119548-12 119725-05 119757-12 119783-06 119783-07 119900-05 120094-21 120272-21 121308-14 122212-26 122239-03 122911-13 123005-07 123186-03 123630-03 124020-04 124171-07 125416-06 125719-12 125719-13 125952-17 126147-02 126674-01 126868-02 127737-02 127853-02 127890-11 128300-04 128306-05 128330-02 128491-01 136716-01 136839-01 136892-01 136998-05 137000-03 137017-03 137019-02 137032-01 137080-01 137091-01 137093-01 137111-06 137289-01 138042-02 138060-04 138070-03 138075-02 138083-01 138112-01 138116-01 138118-01 138120-01 - reboot -- -r - init 1 - flarcreate -n MY_FLAR -S -c -x /export/home/rel -a tomasz.ostrowski /export/home/flar/MY_FLAR.flar No errors (except /etc/mttab but this is not impoortant).

I've booted also from newer Solaris from 10/08 Sol DVD and perform the flash installation, no results. I tried to load boot cdrom -s and install boot block but it is also not helping I've also tried like described here http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5096474 (last post) no results. Anny suggestions what can be wrong with this?
