Solaris 10 Update gone Bad -- Help!
Hi All,
Solaris 10 (Sparc) Generic_125100_07 64 Bit Sparc Ultra 60
During boot right in the beginning when it is detecting devices it will die and kick me to maintenance mode with the following error:
==========================================================
ld.so.1: devfsadm fatal relocation error file /usr/sbin/devfsadm: symbol da_is_on reference symbol not found.
svc.startd [7] svc:/system/device/local:default : Method "/lib/svc/method/devices-local" Failed with exit status 95.
svc.startd [7] svc:/system/device/local:default Failed Fatally: Transitioned to Maintenance (See svcs -xv)
===========================================================
Now when I run svcs -xv it will show svc:/system/device/local:default in maintenance mode. I have tried to do "svcadm clear" on that service, that didn't work.
I have tried to do devfsadm -C that did not fix it either.
I have ran the latest patch cluster twice hoping that might fix something, nope, same error.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

I am sorry I do not know why you get that error.
So the rest of this may be of no help to you at all, as I have
no idea what the problem is, but anyway:
I installed Solaris 10 u3 on an Ultra 60 box. One problem I had was
I burnt the first CD-ROM onto a HP brand CD-ROM blank media.
Silly of me not to have checked the brand of the media, instead just
grabbed the first available bland CD-ROM and burnt it. Guess I should
have known that would never work, it failed to boot off that CD.
Maybe the old drive does not like the silver colour of the disk.
So I found a Sony brand disk, that is blue, burnt that at 4x speed, and
it worked with that. Some of the other discs were burnt on the
same HP media the boot disc failed on. They were all burnt
at 4x speed. It seems hit and miss whether or not the Ultra 60
CD drive will read the disc or not.
This probably is not relevant either, but anyway: I did a fresh install,
not an update.I just like having a fresh, pristine new Solaris.
But of course its necessary to back up everything and then install
everything then.
