Magic number - comp.unix.solaris

I just did a new install of Solaris 8 on a Sun Blade 100 with a 120 GB hard drive. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but I continue to get a "warning: corrupt label: bad magic number" notice on every boot-up. The system still starts up and runs fine, I've tried going into format and cheking the label/relabeling, and I see nothing wrong there either. This disk likely had something else on it prior to the install (like Windows most likely). Is there something I'm missing here, that either the message is sometimes "normal" or that there's something else I need to fix? Also, the message doesn't show up in the syslog - just in the console output during boot. thanks! -- James http://www.ehostdirect.com Reliable web hosting from $12/year.

You probably have an unused harddisk in the system; a harddisk which hasn't been formatted, as you slready expected. Run "format" and add a label after you've verified that it isn't in used. Casper

Nope, I just have a single hard drive in there - the one Solaris is installed on. And I have run "format" on that drive to check/reset the label. -- James http://www.ehostdirect.com Reliable web hosting from $12/year.

Okay. One other guess. Is the boot PROM booting to some disk that doesn't actually exist? I'm thinking of an alternate boot device. Thanks, Cindy

I've seen this error message on non-Sun disks--especially Compaq spares, but those usually wouldn't boot cleanly either. What about doing a devfsadm -Cv to clear out any dead device entries?

Many compaq drives have a non standard diags partion on the disk, which may confuse or not be seen by the sun format utility. Iirc, deleting the partition table from M/soft dos (fdisk) and reformatting fixes the problem. Perhaps a linux box would work as well... Regards,
