Update Manager tries to install patches 119281-11 and 119253-18 but fails with this message:
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 990. The patch <patch id>
makes the kernel unstable, is obsolete or is forbidden by policy.
If these patches are unstable, obsolete, or forbidden, why does Update Manager try to install them? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.
Robert,
I'm using Update Manager, and looking at "Available Updates".
Where are the "readme" files? Are you referring to the "Synopsis" ?
I thought the point of an Update Manager was to review my installation and select the fixes that were appropriate.
After installation, Solaris 10 crashes during "Configure Devices", and I have no idea what to do next.
The referenced Update ID failed on my machine ... along with a stream of failures when I selected Restart.
Apparently "smpatch" is being issued under the covers.
Suggestions on the appropriate way to update the 11/06 version?
