OKay, so I have been sending emails all day to you guys in which I was trying to figure out what to do and how to do it and why was I doing this anyways ? :-)
well here is the good news my friends ... earlier today I upgrade the SUNWipkg software to the absolute latest and greatest and I did that blindly without thinking too much. That went smoothly like so : -bash-3.2# pkg version d974bb176266 -bash-3.2# pkg install -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]:20080620T101740Z Before evaluation: UNEVALUATED: +pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z After evaluation: pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.86:20080426T174940Z -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z None DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) Completed 1/1 100/100 0.89/0.89 PHASE ACTIONS Removal Phase 2/2 Update Phase 92/92 Install Phase 11/11 -bash-3.2# pkg version 0ae5e72ba7ee Now maybe I wasn't supposed to do that and I should have just stuck with something related to snv_86 or something like that. I really don't know .. I just wanted to do what a John Doe average user would do. Grab the latest and then upgrade to that. Seems to work fine for me. What were other people talking about ? I don't see a problem and .. I couldn't find one. I then decided to just update the whole shooting match with this sort of thing : -bash-3.2# pkg image-update -v Before evaluation: UNEVALUATED: +pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T174525Z +pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080616T184243Z +pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T182134Z +pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T182617Z After evaluation: pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.86:20080426T175140Z -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T174525Z . . .

No network lag or timeouts or anything like that. see details at : http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/OpenSolaris/image-update-woohoo.txt so gee ... now what ? reboot I guess ? Before I do that .. is there anything new in the GRUB config for me to look at? I have this machine set to run with a serial console and I hope that is retained.
