Ok now I am even more confused.
I noticed that the upgrade_log file I was looking at was about 6 months old.
Created, I assume, when I upgraded to b65.
This may mean that the problem has nothing what so ever to do with audiohd.
I have removed /var/sadm/system/logs/upgrade_log* and tried the upgrade again.
Here is what I saw happened when I tried to upgrade from b65 to b78.
* Picked US-English for the keyboard layout.
* Got to the GUI installer with no problems, selected English.
* Chose "Upgrade" not "Install".
* It spent ten minutes "checking for sufficient free space . . ." with the
head of the DVD drive going crazy seeking all over the place on my laptop.
* I accepted the license terms and pressed the upgrade button.
* The progress bar appeared.
- It quickly got to the 7% mark while "Preforming upgrade check" it stayed
there for 10 minutes while the DVD drive went crazy again.
* The progress bar vanished and it reported:
Upgrade Failed
Solaris upgrade did not complete normally. The system has been
restored to its previous state.
For more information, you can review the Solaris installation log.
Solaris upgrade log
When I clicked on "Solaris upgrade log" a window popped up.
The window was empty.
How can I get the installer to tell me the reason why
the "Solaris upgrade did not complete normally"?
Neil.
