The original implementation, unfortunately, did suffer from this in stable environments; specifically, the rtc_config file and path_to_inst files can be updated and require the boot-archive to be recreated. rtc_config is updated when the timezones change; path_to_inst when a device (including USB or firewire) is plugged in) My workaround for my embedded system is simple: set the boot-archive verification script to :true: svccfg -s boot-archive setprop start/exec = :true This will prevent such startup failures which should not be treated as fatal. Note that later patches make the boot-archive code more careful about what changes to fail on and which not.
