SUMMARY: Unable to install kernel patch 118844-30

The problem with patch installation is in the prepatch script supplied with the 118844-30 patch. I found the solution here http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=28707&tstart=0 .

Replacement of "boot-device" with "bootpath" in the prepatch script does the trick and patch applyes without any other problems.

It seems the prepatch script needs to be fixed by Sun, because the problem exists since 118844-28 patch.

Best Regards

Vladimir

Hi, Managers

I'm trying to update a Solaris 10 x86 01/06 (Generic_118844-26) system. I stuck with a problem applying kernel patch 118844-30. Below is the result from 'patchadd` execution:


# patchadd /var/tmp/patches/118844-30
Validating patches...

Loading patches installed on the system...

Done!

Loading patches requested to install.

Done!

Checking patches that you specified for installation.

Done!


Approved patches will be installed in this order:

Executing prePatch script...

Once this KU patch is installed and you have rebooted your system,
you will not be able to patchrm this patch safely. Once the NEWBOOT
support is installed, removing it may cause your system to not
be bootable.
Do you wish to continue this installation {yes or no} [yes]?
(by default, installation will continue in 60 seconds)

Executing prepatch script...

ERROR: This configuration requires that 117435-02 be installed first and the

The prepatch script exited with return code 1.

Patchadd is terminating.


The system is booted from the hard drive, patch 117435-02 is installed on the system, also i have rebooted the system several times.

I googled about the problem but wasn't able to find nothing relevant.
I will be very thankful if someone manage to point me to a solution of this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Vladimir
