Sun support suggested that we restore from tape. I think Sun silently introduced more packages, or split existing packages up. Case in point - the system wouldn't boot after patch was applied with this message: Cannot load drivers for /pci at 9,600000/SUNW,qlc at 2/fp at 0 ,0/disk at w500000e0122845c1,0 Apparently, the fp device driver had been moved into another patch. The solution was also to install patch 125184-07. Why Sun didn't mark this as a dependent patch, I've no idea. -- Regards, Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
