I have recently upgrade our SUN sparc stations (SS1's). Shortly after I
did that one of the stations would not boot giving me the message:
Booting from: sd(0,0,0)vmunix
Can't read disk label
Can't read boot blocks
Boot load failed
This was my system disk sd0. I tried booting from st(0,0,4) and the
following message appeared on the screen (during the boot):
sd0 at esp0 target lun 0
sd0: unable to read label
sd0: Vendor 'Quantum', product 'P10555', (unknown capacity)
sd1 at esp0 target lun 0
sd1: <Quantum ProDrive 1055 cyl 974 alt 2 hd 6 sec 357
more messages then
panic: hat_unlock
Syncing files systems... panic: hat_unlock
more messages
I tried formating the disk but got the message:
searching for disks ... sd0: offline
Today (about a week later) a second sparc has the exact same disk problems
on sd0. Has anybody experienced something like this?? Could this be
related to the new 4.1 operating system?? Any ideas how to fix the drives
or do they need to be repaired??
