Patches not being added on 2.8
I'm trying to add the recommended patches on a 2.8 machine (sparc ultra10)
uname -a reveals Generic_108528-24
Booted in sungle user mode.
I'm using the file 8_Recomended.
the enitre install displays return code 8's in 90+% of the situations and once in a while a return 25.
patchadd -p says that no patches are intalled (before and after)
log files shows:
grep: can't open */pkginfo
grep: can't open */pkginfo
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
112396-02 are not installed on this system.
Patchadd is terminating.
Installing 111111-04...
"which pkginfo" returns the proper path.
I thought maybe there may have been an issue with single user mode not moujnting all my disks, but at run level 3 I get the same error doing a patchadd.
Any help to the road of sanity will be appreciated.
Peace
Roy

Thanks much all. The /var/sadm directory was on another partition. Whe I first wenbt to install the patches it was trying to put the log file into /var/sadm, so I created it so the log coud go into it. not realizing the importance of this directory. Then whjen I checked later on to see if there was alink to sadm some where there wasn't cause I'd killed it.
Total F.Up
It seemd to go go but this entry is at the end of my log file:
Is this something to worry about?

If this can not be done, we recommend having the system in as
patch installation can commence.
