boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix

I have done 30 jumpstarts now and this one refuses to budge?

I have created a new Rules file and added the IP Range under the tftpboot directory in hex. The bootparams has been unaltered in 1 year.I have added the Ethernet address to the ethers file, and the Host name and IP under Hosts.
I have run the check command and the configuration is ok. There are no start or finish scripts built into the jumpstart, so it is a pretty straightforward configuration!


Tftp Server is running from my workstation. It is a new Sunblade 1500, previously I have jumpstarted Sunblade 100, 150s, 1000s, 2000s, Ultra 60s, Ultra 80s, with no problem?

What am I missing? It is a preconfigured system, I was wondering if it was some Security Issue? I have tried Sys-unconfig to blow away its network settings, but I can still not do a fresh jumpstart to give it our site settings?

Thanks for any pointers :)
 
I have now attempted the build via Solaris 8 02/02 CDs and I am getting the same message? Anybody got any suggestion on what this system is doing?

It is NOT my jumpstart configuration :)
 
Sussed it, I need a newer version of Solaris 8. Sunblade 1500 requires Solaris8 05/03 or later.

And I thought Solaris8 02/02 was the last version they did!

Learn something new everyday :)
