Error while upgrading NW04s ABAP from sp7 to sp8

Question

Hi,
I installed NW04s in my system and its ABAP stack is upgraded to sp7. When i was upgrading its SAP_BASIS support package to sp8, i got the following error.
Error in phase: IMPORT_PROPER
Reason for error: TP_BUFFER_INCONSISTENCY
Return code: 0008
Error message: Pkgs. in queue don"t exist in the tp buffer (e.g. SAPKB70008)
This phase imports all Repository objects and table entries. It may terminate for the following reasons:
○       TP_INTERFACE_FAILURE: The tp interface could not be called.
○       TP_FAILURE: The tp program could not be executed. For more information, read the SLOG or ALOG log files.
○       TP_STEP_FAILURE: A tp step could not be performed successfully. You can find the source of error in the relevant log, for example, in the import log.
If a tp step 6, N or S is in the termination message, it is a step independent of the transport request. The corresponding logs are contained in the log overview under the node Import steps not specific to the transport request.
You can also find these logs in the following files in the log subdirectory of your transport directory (usually /usr/sap/trans/log):
tp step 6: P<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
tp step N: N<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
tp step S: DS<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
To display these files, run report RSPUTPRT or call transaction AL11.
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have the similar problem to yours with tp_buffer_consistency at the xpra_phase when I was runing SAINT on a SAP R/3 Service Tool (RTCTOOL) with SAPKITAR19.
Shall you confirm what you have solved your problem are:
1) You have removed registers from the file /usr/sap/trans/buffer/SID which contains the troubled register, an example SAPKNNNNNN. First make a backup of that file before removing registers.
2) You have removed registers from the two tables: PAT01 (PATCH=SAPKNNNNNN), and PAT03 (PATCH=SAPKNNNNNN)
3) Invoke the trx SAINT
4) Installation package-->load package --> from application server
5) Select the uploaded SP and click the button Continue.
6) Anything else.
Appreciate in hearing from your input.
