This has bitten a number of people already internally testing
the Nevada builds, so a general heads up seems to be in order:
NEVADA BUILDS 39 AND LATER BREAK NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVERS!
If you upgrade to nv_39 or later, bfu to an ON build after
mid-April, or in any other way cause the build 39 ld.so.1
to be installed on your system, you will not be able to start
the X server using the nvidia accelerated drivers.
This is being tracked as bug 6419441, which is unfortunately
not available on bugs.opensolaris.org since it's filed against
the closed-source nvidia driver, but is being worked on by our
linker team and our nvidia driver team.
The workaround from that bug report states:
*Carefully* replace the build 39 /lib/ld.so.1 with
the version from build 38. Example:
# cd /lib
# cp -p ld.so.1 ld.so.1.stk
# gzcat <path>/ldso_b38.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Personally, I found it easiest to handle this when live upgrading
before activating and rebooting into the new boot environment -
after the upgrade completes, lumount the new BE, replace the ld.so
file there, luumount, and then luactivate and reboot as normal.
