First suggestion: use Live Upgrade. It's far easier and much less risky than upgrading via standard upgrade. > a) the DHCP client is unable to get its hostname. That suggests that the DHCP server isn't configured to supply one, and the profile doesn't have one. We probably ought to do something smarter by default, and this issue is in the domain of the "Network Automagic (NWAM)" project. (The perl hack is clever, though.) > core '/tmp/root/core' of 4725: /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkginstall -R > /a -O parent-zone-name=global -O p > ac62327e strcmp (1f00, 8045bd0) + de > 08066787 already_mounted (80457b4, 0, 8045bd0, 809d770) + 43 > 0806743b get_mntinfo (1, 0) + 26f That looks like a new one to me. It's a crash in libinst and (at a guess) it's a bad vfstab entry.

Instead of: nfs://192.168.224.1/export/lnf/i386 try using the automounter: /net/192.168.224.1/export/lnf/i386 Or set up the package to be accessible via HTTP or FTP, which pkgadd also supports. > PS: Sorry for posting on opensolaris, but since SXDE doesn't exist > anymore, I can't open a case and don't know, where nv related > problems can be reported/discussed - AFAIK there is no nevada > dedicated list/"bugzilla" :((((( bugs.opensolaris.org -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
