You are running into 6539243 ldc prints warning messages on console when running
newer Solaris with older SysFw (6.3.x) - Fixed in snv_67 and s10u5_04

The message indicates that the ldc driver (part of LDoms support) cannot get
services that it needs from the firmware because the firmware is an older
revision that what LDoms requires (the 6.4 Firmware release or greater). This
message is harmless if you do not plan to run LDoms - if you do want to run
LDoms you have to upgrade your firmware.

The reason you are seeing the messing with 120011-14 is because that KU contains
the LDoms drivers, whereas with 118833-33, there were delivered in a separate 
patch (124921-02)

Hi
I suspect that's it because 120011-14 ships bits that are hypervisor 
aware, by that I mean Ldoms if you upgraded the firmware to latest bits, 
it would go away, it's harmless I suspect.

Could we  get the full message just to be sure

I believe you're confusing Zones (an OS-level virtualization
technology) with Logical Domains (which is hypervisor-based) - the
latter technology is what the above bug concerns itself with.  A more
appropriate mailing list would be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
