I did post this question in VMWare communities, but 11 days later there's been no response, so I thought I'd try on a more general *nix forum.



After an upgrade of my VCSA to version 6.5.0.22000-9451637, on reboot it gets stuck on the GRUB screen with the following:



setparams 'Photon' 
linux "/"$photon_linux root=$rootpartition net.ifname=0 $photon_cmd 
line coredump_filter=0x37 consoleblank=0 
 if [ "$photon_initrd" ]; then 
 initrd "/"$photon_initrd 
 fi


If I then press F10 (to boot), I get the error message:



Booting a command list 
error: not a regular file. 
Press any key to continue...


The only reference to the issue is here, where the OP mentions how he fixed the issue:




I found broken link from photon.cfg to old linux-4.9.99-1.ph2-esx.cfg




Trouble is, I don't know where to start to look for photon.cfg. Apart from the fact that it has 12 virtual disks, I don't know enough about GRUB to know how to get out of it, therefore, any pointers would be greatly apreciated.



TIA

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
