The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_111 for both x86/x64 and
SPARC platforms. This update also includes fixes to the Caiman "Slim
Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS).
This update also includes Sun Studio Express 3/09 and the DTrace GUI
plugin for NetBeans 1.0.
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred authority to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
Known IPS issues in this repository update
==========================================
3644 directory/symlink ambiguity renders package uninstallable
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3644
When updating from a build 110 image in which the SUNWtltk
package has been installed, an error message along the
following lines may be seen
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory:
'/tmp/tmpwpc7Zq/usr/X11/share/include'
Work-around: Retry the update using the following set of
commands
$ pfexec rm /usr/X11/share/include
$ pfexec pkg image-update
$ pfexec pkg fix SUNWxwplt
7358 Depot throws a stack trace when started with an old index (should rebuild)
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7358
pkg(5) servers upgraded to build 110 will terminate with a
"pkg.search_errors.InconsistentIndexException" error.
Work-around: Remove the old search indices located at
<Path to repository>/index
(by default /var/pkg/repo/index)
and restart the pkg.depotd(1M) server.
7836 Warnings printed about "emlxs" driver on "pkg image-update"
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7836
The following error message may be seen when updating to build
111 or later
driver (emlxs) upgrade
(removal of minor perm '* 0600 root sys'') failed with
return code 252
command run was:
/usr/sbin/update_drv -b /mnt -d -m * 0600 root sys' emlxs
command output was:
------------------------------------------------------------
No entry found for driver (emlxs) in file (/mnt/etc/minor_perm).
------------------------------------------------------------
Work-around: This message is innocuous and may be safely
ignored.
Known Caiman issues in this repository update
=============================================
5780 ai_sparc_image.xml need official repos before release
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5780
6525 Change AI default.xml back to pkg.opensolaris.org
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6525
Starting with build 111, the default pkg(5) authority used by
the Automated Installer and present on installed clients is now
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release
As this repository still contains only OpenSolaris 2008.11 and
earlier packages, users should instead by using
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
in their AI manifests and on their newly installed clients.
The former can be set by changing the "url" attribute of the
"pkg_repo_default_authority" property in the manifest while the
latter can be set using either the pkg(1) command or the
Package Manager.
7751 AI image shows warning about /etc/system during boot
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7751
When a SPARC Automated Installer client boots, the following
message may be displayed
WARNING: Unexpected token '.' on line 101 of /etc/system
Work-around: This message is innocuous and may be safely
ignored.
7758 AI install always fails after swap slice is created
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7758
During an Automated Installation, the install may fail due to
lack of swap space. This will typically be seen as a failed
pkg(1M) command as recorded in the installation log. Affected
machines include x86/x64 systems with less than 1300MB of main
memory or SPARC systems with less than 1800MB of main memory.
Work-around: Force a swap partition to always be created by
adding the following stanza to the installer manifest
<ai_device_vtoc_slices>
<slice_action>delete</slice_action>
<slice_number>1</slice_number>
<slice_size>512</slice_size>
<slice_size_units>mb</slice_size_units>
</ai_device_vtoc_slices>
An example of this can be found in
/usr/share/auto_install/ai_manifest.xml
Other known issues in this repository update
============================================
7803 Corrupted boot-archive after AI install on sparc with osol_110/111
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7803
6820295 C++ compilation fails on daily.0129 and above
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6820295
After an installation, the system is unable to boot or when it
does boot, error messages are printed on the system console of
the form
WARNING: Unexpected token '' on line 1 of <pathname>
Work-around: None at this time.
6811922 PCIE init err info failed BDF 0x0 on snv_109 (Ultra 20 M2)
Ultra 20 M2 systems may not boot after being upgraded or
installed with build 109.
Work-around: Upgrade the system's firmware to at least revision
1.52. Updated firmware can be obtained from
http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra20/downloads.jsp
6818652 cpu_acpi_cache_cst panics with bad _CST objects on Tecra M9 and M10
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6818652
Certain systems will panic on boot with the kernel stack trace
indicating a failure in the function cpu_acpi_cache_cst().
Work-around: Verify that your system has an up-to-date BIOS.
If the system supports turning off Deep C-states C2 and C3 in
the BIOS (usually under an advanced ACPI or CPU setup), disable
those C-states and attempt booting again.
6819156 cpu_acpi_free_cstate_data can free the wrong size
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6819156
After updating to build 110 and rebooting, the system crashes
immediately with a "kernel heap corruption detected" error.
Work-around: None at this time.
6822628 constype returns unexpected value for nvidia card, ogl-select picks
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6822628
Systems with NVIDIA graphics have a non-accelerated OpenGL,
rendering Compiz and other 3-D applications inoperable.
Work-around: Explicitly set the "vendor" property in the
"ogl-select" service and restart the "ogl-select" service
$ svccfg -s application/opengl/ogl-select \
setprop options/vendor = nvidia
$ svcadm restart application/opengl/ogl-select
Then, select the "Log Out" menu item from the "System" menu and
log back in again.
3408 X server does not start w/Guest Additions on OpenSolaris guest w/snv_107
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3408
The Xorg driver included with the VirtualBox Guest Additions is
incompatible with the 1.5.3 version of the Xorg server included
in this build.
Work-around: VirtualBox users should remove the VirtualBox
guest additions prior to updating to this build.
Alternatively, VirtualBox 2.2 Beta 1 is reported to have
addressed this issue
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0_BETA1/
ISO images for the Automated Installer[3], CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows

The ISO images are also available for HTTP download from
http://www.genunix.org/
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script[4].
Automated Installer
===================
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Systems being used to support the Automated Installer
and which are updated to build 110 or later must recreate the
associated services[5].
