I've just run into a very similar problem with a Solaris 10 11/06 installation on a V245. The post-installation messages had this warning:

Solaris 10 software installation partially failed

Solaris 10 packages partially installed

SUNWckr

and the initial boot failed with the following error messages:

boot: cannot find misc/sparcv9/krtld

boot: error loading interpreter (misc/sparcv9/krtld)

Elf64 read error.

boot failed

Enter filename [/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix]:

Elf64 read error.

boot failed

Elf64 read error.

boot failed

Were you able to resolve your problem, and if so, any clues?

Thanks.

Problem solved, for me at least. I still have no idea why the package failed to install properly during the initial installation, but it was easy to repair.

1) Boot from cdrom with -s.

2) Mount the disk (or RAID volume) on /mnt

3) cd to the package area on the CD or DVD

4) pkgadd -d $PWD -R /mnt SUNWckr

The package was added without any error messages and the system boots fine now.
