alrighty, sofar so good i guess 1. the first thing I'd check is the actual size of the slices, since a pretty trivial answer would be perhaps the new nv91 slice just happened to be too small.
since we are working off ufs slices, i am assuming your original istall was ufs slices from either an sxde/sxce nevada xx dvd or sol10 distribution from Sun. there has apparently been a bit of confusion here (this thread) as these distros install the 'older' ufs and NOT zfs as is used with the opensolaris "live" dvd. there are multiple forks in the possible upgrade path(s) and this is a major one. the default ufs install, in my experience, defaults to a very small indeed minimal size, and on a coupel occasions very minor updates have failed miserably because of this. so I would examine the free space on your root (/) slice and maybe even enlarge the upgrade slice , ie starting over with 'ludelete' (har har careful which one), format, partition, etc. 1.5 also if you burned the dvd yourself, maybe do a checksum on the original image 2. it looks like you had failsafe installed for the new nv91 BE so... not tried this myself , havent had a live upgrade fail to install a subset of packages on me but you should be able to "luactivate -n nv91" and then boot into the failsafe session. next try installing the packages manually, now that you know what failed. shoudl be able to see what the errors are if they fail again. gl. let us know when you finally assert yourself over this process. woohoo.
