Problem after update x86 v9.2-1

Post by spoofy » Tue Aug 29, 2023 2:26 pm

I have an E9.2 installation that worked on ESXi 6.7. After the update to V9.2-1, I can no longer boot it.
The boot starts and I get the message:
Booting...

Code: Select all

%%%%%%%%%%% VSI OpenVMS (tm) x86-64 %%%%%%%%%%%

%SYSBOOT-I-VMTYPE, Booting as a VMware (tm) Guest

%VMS_BFS-W-LOOKUP: recursive call failed looking for 'SYSFF.DIR;1'
%SYSBOOT-F-FILENOTFOUND, Could not find X86_64VMSSYS.PAR on the boot memory disk
%SYSBOOT-F-NOPARAMFILE, Failed to load parameter file, status: 00000910
%SYSBOOT-F-BADFILENAM, The specified file does not exist.  [SYSFF.SYSEXE]X86_64VMSSYS.PAR, status = 00000910
I installed it again but I still have the same problem. Can somebody help me?

I was able to reproduce this by:

BOOTMGR> B DKE100 FF

...which sets the SYSROOT environment variable.

To fix:

BOOTMGR> ROOT 0
BOOTMGR> B DKE100

Just to state the obvious, DKE100 was a system disk on my VM, use whatever your disk happens to be
