Good morning all.

Sorry to bother you, but I have run into a problem with the pkg image-update functionality. I don't know if it's a driver or a pkg problem, but I'm starting here. Let's start with my hardware:

Build-your-own x86 case, etc.
Intel i5 CPU with motherboard
Sapphire HD 4670 video card

Yeah, I know, it's all 3rd party stuff (sorry!). Anyway, I installed OpenSolaris on it using the 2009.06 live cd, and everything works great. The system comes up with graphics, and it's nice and quick. However, I then chose to run a pkg image-update on the machine, and booted into the clone. The system throws a fmd error, and won't start up the graphics. Here's the error:

I have tried this with 2 different graphics cards now, and tried the pkg image-update 2x. All of my testing has resulted in the same behavior, which is to say it seems to not see the video card because of a PCIe error. I then checked the packages on the system with pkg verify -v, and got a lot of errors. I wanted to report them before going any furthor on this.
...
With all of this said, I can try a pkg fix on all of these and see if they can be corrected. Some of them I can try to fix manually where the issue is permissions or something like that. However, I'm concerned that the system may still not see my graphics card even after doing that work. As a side note, I may have to update the graphics package that caused this issue to an earlier version, to regain functionality. Anyone happen to know what package I should be looking at, or have a decent guess?

Have you checked the release notes for the development builds to see if the graphics thing is a known issue?

Otherwise, pkg fix sounds like the right thing to do.

Cheers,
