by Hiya...
I've got a SparcStation 20 running Solaris 2.5 that's become a little
quirky lately and need some help returning it to it's former happy self...
Problem 1: When I try to enter single user mode (via boot -s from the ROM
prompt) the machine boots fine, but when it asks me for the root password
it automatically pops up an 'login incorrect' error and asks me again.
This will continue until I hit CNTL-C at which point it continues to boot
into run level 3 (it doesn't accept CNTL-D to continue the restart).
Problem 2: I am attempting to install patch 103093-07 (jumbo kernel patch)
and am getting the error
pkgadd: ERRORL: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
and the patch does not install. Does anyone have any idea what could cause
this to happen. Previously, I had a problem with pkginfo complaining of a
botched
pkginfo file but I got around that by renaming the offending pkginfo file
(can I do this and not cause problems???). I have also seen this problem
while trying to install patch 103187-09.
Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appriciated!
later...
