Hi, Andre, So far, I have not got this issue. Please see inline.

I expect that Beijing > QE has successfully done installs using the 111b2 packages, but Yes, we've done test successfully with following config: Server package is the same for 111b1 and 111b2 testing,both are pkg:/SUNWinstalladm-tools at 0.5.11,5.11-0.111:20090508T161008Z And the ai image for 111b2 we are using is: osol-0906-111b2-ai-x86.iso / osol-0906-111b2-ai-sparc.iso I also did the same process include delete 111b1 service and re-create new service with new 111b2 image( without reboot AI server host), I did not have tftp issues. But I just did it manually. > can't check with them at the moment due to the time zone difference. > Has someone else here done x86 installs using 111b2?
