In some instances, an attempt to boot a 64-bit capable x86 based system to 64-bit mode might fail. This failure might produce an error similar to the following:
Select (b)oot or (i)nterpreter: b kernel/amd64/unix . . . pci: cannot load driver Cannot load drivers for /pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@a/pci17c2,10@4/sd@0,0:a (Can't load the root filesystem) Press any key to reboot. . . . |
In the event such a failure occurs, boot the system to 32-bit mode by typing the following command at the Select (b)oot or (i)nterpreter boot prompt:
Select (b)oot or (i)nterpreter: b kernel/unix |
