Boot from the Software 1 of 2 CD (OK prompt boot cdrom -s) and copy the file from there to /usr/lib/ld.so.1

After you follow Ken's advise, make sure that you have a symbolic link "lib" pointing to "./usr/lib" in your root directory.

mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a. Then cd /usr/lib on the cd and cp ld.so.1 /a/usr/lib

umount /a and you should be able to reboot.

Mauric,
Don't understand what is looking for library ld.so.1. My thinking that it is a 3rd party application loaded on your workstation. Can you boot to single user mode? Use command: boot -s

If you can, you will be asked to enter the root password. Once done, you will be at run level S. Next thing you should try to is getting to run level 2. Command: init 2

This command will run the rc scripts for run level 2. If you are successful, the next step is to go to run level 3. This level is the normal running level. My suggestion is that you go to /etc/rc3.d and run all the scripts beginning with a "S" in order. If you get the error, you should be able to figure out what application is looking for it.

If you get the error message during the init 2, restart the computer with "boot -s" and start running all the scripts starting with "S" in order in /etc/rc2.d. Again, if you get the error, you should be able to figure out what is looking for it.

Hello Together,

i have made here a montser thread
it´s not really to smile, it´s more the time for crying :-(

the status from me i386 solaris 9 machine are following,
if i want boot from hdrive with the option "boot -s" i become
the same error.

cannot read /usr/lib/ld.so.1
# ls
cannot read /usr/lib/ld.so.1
killed
# pwd
cannot read /usr/lib/ld.so.1
8killed
# and so on

and i dont see on witch level the machine are now.
and i cant send any command to me machine with success !!

i have boot with cdrom boot -s and it´s working fine
i made after this the following option "fsck -F UFS /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0"
and no error are found !! (the hard drive are OK).

me next step was mount the hdrive with
mount /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 /a (!! thanks ken.. !!)
and i have do following

ls -ls /a/usr/lib/*
ld.so.1

only one file are found ?!, i think that not correct ????!!!

after i have a look to me cdrom drive (/cdrom/usr/lib/*)
i see that the structure of the cdrom are more then 1 files,
so i copied all files from /cdrom/usr/lib/* to /a/usr/lib/*
with alot of hope that now working,

without success :-(
for any more informations bevor i need to setup new me machine
i am really happy ........

i want say on this time many Thanks to all that whe have gived
many tips and it´s really the best discussion group that i have see !!!!!

best regrads
Maurizio

What are the permissions on the server version of ld.so.1? As far as I can tell they should be rwxr-xr-x (ie chmod 755), and owned by root:bin

 

[Mauric]

thanks everybody for this know how traffic
iam impressed from this forum.

i have now made a safe of the data and now
now i have start the setup new

i think thats are the best way, it´s
possible that not only this file
are missing on the damaged system.

i have train that i dont can give
to many people the hole right on a solaris machine

to become a stable machine on this way its only
to setup new.

i thanks everybody and i wish you a where nice day

best regrads
and meny thanks

Maurizio

I agree you're probably taking the best (and quickest) course. Good luck.
