Patch 127128-11 broken

On Solaris 10 U5, after patch 127128-11 there are now error/warning messages that did not
occur before the patch installation. The load continues, however.
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide... (ata1):
     timeout: reset bus, target=0 lun=0
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide..../cmdk@0,0 (Disk1)
     Error for command 'read sector
     Error Level: Informational
     Sense Key: aborted command
     Vendor 'Gen-ATA' error code: 0x3
The above error messages repeat for one screen and the booting continues successfully. No
damage done but it is annoying, especially when showing off Solaris to newcomers. I have not been
able to figure out how to file a bug report, short of going to the phone. Perhaps someone at Sun
could pass this along to the appropriate party.

Every Solaris patch comes with a Readme file. It is always a good idea to read the Readme file before installing the patch. This particular patch is a kernel patch. All Solaris kernel patches require that system is in single-user mode before install or you will wind up with a system that behaves unpredictably or may not boot at all. Every Solaris user should be familiar with this site: [Sunsolve Patch Access|http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patches/patch-access]

Problem with kernel patch 127128-11

I am a bit stomped trying to install this patch successfully.
I log into single user mode.
The patch file is currently located in "/var/sadm/spool"
when I run "patchadd 127128-11" i get the following:
"Patch 127128-11 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd."
============================================================
When I try installing the patch using smpatch with: "smpatch add -i 127128-11"
I get the following error:
"Patch 127128-11 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd."
"PaTch_MsG 23 Patch number 127128-11 cannot be applied until all restricted patches are backed out."

I am still troubleshooting but does anyone have any pointers they would like to share?
Thanks and look forward to your replies

Hi,
I have the same problem and was wondering if anyone had a resolution to it?
Thanks

Kernel patch 127128-11 renders my x86 system unbootable - what to do?

Just installed some patches with smpatch as usual, kernel patch 127128-11 among them. I then dropped to single user mode to finish the installation, rebooted and... nothing. I get the SunOS copyright notice, and then nothing but a flashing cursor... I waited for half an hour, but nothing happened, no disk activity, keyboard not responding, nothing.
I had to reset the stupid machine...
This happened on old(ish) HP Vectra SFF.
What I can do now? What are my options? (And please DON'T say: "reinstall everything"!!!)
I have used Linux for 7-8 years, but Solaris is pretty new for me, this installation is some 2 months old (Sun Solaris 10 - 8/07 - x86)

I remember I ever tried a tool that you need to run in order to put your computer on the list.
Well it suddenly crashed and I didn't try it again.The certification tool: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/
At Sun they know very well which systems I'm running Solaris on.
This data is sent when you register to apply for updates.They don't use your registration info to list a system as certified to run Solaris10. See link above.
I have to admit I never added any patches by going into single user mode.I install in single user per instructions in patch README. I have rarely had issues installing patches this way.
Reading back this thread I see that this patch was part of the Solaris 10 5/08 version
and since I recently upgraded to this version and everything is working fine,
I don't think there is an issue. Neither do I think that there is an issue with 127128-11 patch, which is why I mentioned that OPs machine was not on HCL. It's an issue with OPs hardware, not the new kernel. So, what is that 'fix' disabling so that Solaris will run on unsupported hardware?
I haven't tried OpenSolaris yet. What do you think of it so far?

Patch Manager lists patches i already installed... help!

Update Manager is still showing 173 patches which i already installed on May 20th.
The "Installed Patches" section is showing 0 patches.
I am Running Solaris 10 on x86 Dual Xeon
Once all the patches were applied I linked 2 folders off to *{color:#0000ff}/export/home{color}* to save space on the root drive...
but as far as i was aware this should not make a difference.
Below you can see my {color:#0000ff}*/var/sadm*{color} folder

In the Update Manager, the spool directory is{color:#0000ff} */export/home/patches*{color}, there are no patches in here. I cleaned them out.
When i attempt to install an already installed patch, it fails (which is good) but doesn't remove the patch from the list.
Has anyone any ideas how i can get Update Manager back to normal?
Thanks

Try moving the files in /export/home/var/sadm/patch and /export/home/var/sadm/patch back to their correct locations.
You might then find that updatemanager works as expected again. Did you ever stop to think what those directories were used for?

WARNING! OBIEE 11.1.1.6.6 patch set destroys map configurations

Prior to installing the 7 patches for 11.1.1.6, maps worked fine.
Immediately after installing the patches, maps were broken.
Why? Because my customizations to the Configuration settings at http://xyzserver/mapviewer, such as in the <security_config> section or in the Predefined Data Sources section, are GONE, restored back to their original uncustomized configuration. Thank you so very much, Oracle.

Response on an SR today:
11.1.1.5.0 BP2 bundle patch bug fixes
Current ETA has slipped - it is now approx. April 6 for four platforms : Linux64, Windows64, AIX64 & Solaris Sparc 64.
This will also affect ETA for remaining four platforms .. approx. 3-4 weeks after above 4 patches are released.

Patch 111715-08

The most recent patch to Sun ONE Studio 7 C++, 111715-08, changed the standard string class. The diff between the previous <string> header and the new one is:
32a33,34
#pragma disable_warn
798c800
< static const __null_ref_type __nullref;
static __SUNW_GLOBAL const __null_ref_type __nullref;915a918
size_type n = length() + sizeof(__rep_type)/sizeof(charT) + 2;917c920
< deallocate(_RWSTD_REINTERPRET_CAST(charT*,__pref()),length());
deallocate(_RWSTD_REINTERPRET_CAST(charT*,__pref()),n);1841a1845
#pragma enable_warnNotice the new line with the definition of n and the change in deallocate. The second parameter to deallocate went from length() to n where n is definitely bigger than length().
As soon as we applied the patch we started having all kinds of problems and crashes in code that worked fine before. While we have not put our finger exactly on a test case to reproduce the problem, it looks like we cannot mix code built with the compiler before this patch with code built with the patch if they pass strings to each other. Backing out the patch fixed all the problems.
All included, it looks like the patch either broke the string class or broke binary compatibility with previous releases. Has anybody experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Paolo

More info for Sun engineering on this problem.
It looks like the bug may have been introduced by the fix for bug id 4856138 ("libCstd string class does not pass correct size to deallocator" dated 20 Jun 2003 according to sunsolve)
Thanks,
Paolo
Interesting to see that nobody from Sun picked up on
this... Anyway, the patch is definitely broken. We
reported it as a severity 1 problem (case ID 63638657)
and are waiting for an answer.
Thanks,
Paolo

Downgrading CP8 to before patch 8.0.1.242

Since this patch is completely broken (see my other discussion about question pools), is it possible to downgrade to the older patch so my company can keep working on the iPad versions of my software?

Same, does it look like this:
Everything changes when previewed or published - why?

9_Recommended patch cluster breaks ssh

Hi all,
I recently installed the latest 9_Recommended patch cluster and it has rendered ssh inoperable. I get the following error when I try to start ssh:
ld.so.1: sshd: fatal: libgss.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
In doing some research, it seems that there is now a dependency on the SUNWgss packages. I either need to find a place where I can get this package from or remove the patch that has broken ssh.
Any ideas?

I have a case open as well. Here is the current response:
RFE for patch 113273-11
Take a look at this
But he did not give any approved workaround so I pinged him again and
await feedback.
For the "unable to initialize mechanism library
[usr/lib/gss/gl/mech_krb5.so]" (see bug 6392328)
The following workarounds were provided by PTS
and one of my customers confimred that workaound suggestion
number 1 worked for him
1) Turn off GSS-API support in ssh_config(4) and
sshd_config(4)
Add to /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
GSSAPIAuthentication=no
GSSAPIKeyExchange=no
2) Configure /etc/krb5/krb5.conf (even if Kerberos V is not in use) so
it contains no syntax errors.
attached krb5.conf was given to me by my backline support for you to
use.

How to add a patch ? [SOLVED]

I'm trying to add a patch for a broken gdesklets.
I filed a bug report, and was asked to "apply the attached patch to /usr/lib/gdesklets and try running it again"
I've never applied a patch, and there is no /usr/lib/gdesklets file, but it's a directory.
See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdesklets/+bug/403774
I want to try the patch, but really don't know how to procede.

Problems downloading patches (automated)

I've been working with a number of machines and have a continued problem trying to download patches from the sunsolve.sun.com patch server system. Ever since the new update that requires you to "accept", the system pretty consistantly cannot find patch files that I'm requesting. Some examples include the following patches that seem to only work 1 out of 15 tries.... (so it does eventually work in most cases, but typically the sun server is failing. Pretty lousy for a paid for service).
127719-01
126257-02
119795-06
There are more, but its a pain to type them all (I have about 20 I'm trying to bring down to a proxy server since its way too painful to actually get these all from sun directly).
Marcos

smpatch(1m), due to its java dependency, is unfortunately not an option for me. Downloading via a "light-weight" wget(1) from http://sunsolve.sun.com/private-cgi/pdownload.pl?target=<patchid> have worked just fine for many years and still does for most patches, but for certain patchid's (i.e. 119689 or 125081) you now have to specify also the patch's revision (i.e. 119689-04), otherwise you'll get "ERROR 404: Not Found". It seems like patchid links to its latest patches are missing. The other problem is the "SunSolve Boundry System Queue Limit Exceeded" error which I sometimes get when I'm forced to manually download via http at the patch README page after the (automated) wget method has failed. BTW, I've also run into patch dependency being broken, i.e. for 120199-11 and other patches which depend on a non-existing patch 126677-01.

Bootsplash : Applying splash on a patched kernel makes a Kernel Panic

Hi Archers,
I tried to put a bootsplash and for that I first pached the kernel with the PKGBUILD from ABS using this HOW-TO :
http://archlinux.veloxis.de/howtos/boot … to_us.html
The patched kernel works very well.
Then I wanted to add a splash using the splash utility, following this HOW-TO :
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bootsplash
Then I edited the grub and rebooted.
All I can see is a kernel panic, telling me this :
RAMDISK : Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0
List of all partitions :
No file system could mount root, tried :
Kernel Panic - VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
This is quite weird since some lines above I can see that the RAMDISK has been initialized :
RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize
Does anynone have an idea of what could be the cause of the problem ?
Thanks
++++++++++++

I think I've found what is the cause of the problem but this is quite weird.
To activate bootsplash, the bootsplash option have to be activated in the kernel configuration file (config) :
CONFIG_FBCON_SPLASHSCREEN=y
So I added this option at the end of the config file. The other required options were already activated by default.
After having installed the new kernel thanks to the pacman -U command, I can see in the config file, which has been automatically generated during the compilation (/boot/kconfig26), that the bootsplash option is no more activated ! The entire line has been erased.
How can an option be erased during the compilation ? Where could I find what caused this problem ? Here is my PKGBUILD, which I think is correct : (I have deactivated the Arch logo)

Anyone with Omnisphere problems

I've recently installed (and updated) Spectrasonics Omnisphere. I installed it to an external drive and although it appears to be working correctly there are a couple of issues I'm having that haven't been resolved by Spectrasonics yet. You keep having to push then for a reply. My issues are:-
1. When I use a multi stacked instrument with an arpeggiator in the patch it all appears to work correctly. If I then close logic down and later start it up again, then load the same song up again, the patches all load but the patch with the arpeggiator in it is silent. I have checked on the ARP window of Omnisphere and the velocity settings have all been reset to zero. I can recall them by clicking on the first part of the arpeggiator (ie turn that note off) then clicking on it again (turning it on) and all the velocity settings then reset to their correct values. Spectrasonics have stated this shouldn't be happening and I've sent them an example but I'm still waiting for a reply. Has anyone else experienced this???
2. Also when opening up Track Automation on Omnisphere the only settings showing are Level 1-8 then just the numbers 10-127. Anyone else noticed this?
3. Lastly I'm not sure if this is related or not but the Klopfgeist sound seems to have been affected by installing Omnisphere as it shows its playing but no sound is heard, although the output VU's on the channel strip and on the main outputs show an output.

I've got a different problem and can't seem to figure this one out:
Load up the Multi: "Aerophonica"
Next you'll see three patches that comprise that Multi:
1) Aerophonic Steps
2) Angelos Tube
3) Pop Female Ahs
Problem is, there's just no "Aerophonic Steps" to be found in the Patch Browser. Same thing for "Angelos Tube". There's an "Angelo Tube String", just not the exact "Angelos Tube". Same applies for the "Pop Female Ahs".
No where, and I've searched right down to the sound source browser, can I find these exact patches. Yes, I have "All" selected in all Directories, Catagories, Genre, Complexity, Author. Yes I refreshed. Yes I re-installed the whole soundsource.db's from the DVD's, yes I installed the latest updates, again tonight, but to no avail.
I'm asking this because, even though they do indeed play just fine, I want to make sure my patches aren't broken. This same phenomenon applies to almost every (but not all) Multi that I load. Most of the time, I can't seem to find the individual patches (more precisely - their exact names) that are displayed in the multi's patch browser section, or any browser, even after a search.
Sometimes the exact name shows up in the SoundSource (even though it's showing up in the Patch Browser) And sometimes even more rarely, it does show up in the Patch Browser as it's displayed in the Multi strip, but usually they just can't be found.
I must be missing something right? Is anyone else seeing this?

Applets will not run on Win2k

Hello all, thanks for reading. I have searched the Internet, this forum, and I am at the end of my wits.
I have workstations that must run Java applets for specific sales training.
Several workstations will not run applets at all, and only get the red "x" error described here:
http://java.com/en/download/help/redximage.jsp
I have followed the troubleshooting steps to the letter, and still no applets will run.
Here are the details:
Win2k SP4 with IE6.0SP1
JRE 1.4.2_04 (Manual install - Auto install will not work)
I reinstalled both IE and JRE. I have made certain that only one version of JRE exists. I have checked IE security settings to allow scripts to run, and I have cleared the IE cache. I have checked Java Control Panel settings, to include the Browser tab and the Proxies tab.
I feel like I have run out of options. Can anyone steer me in a new direction? The time crunch is bearing down on me, and a rather large sales force needs these applets to work.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi,
If the telnet command still works and the connection to our database doesn't then there is still a problem with Java on your machine as I think the firewall would have blocked the port, I will check though.
We have seen a couple of problems caused by recent patches, I don't know if they are related yet but on some the MS JVM disappeared (as yours did) and on some the database link died.
In the database link case, the applet appears to be looking at the local machine instead of the host. I'm not sure what other sites this might affect but it may be a problem if you need to access other site.
As we are an e-commerce company, it's difficult to get to client machines that have these problems so testing opportunities are very limited.
On the only machine I've managed to get to, the problem was solved by changing the version of the Sun JVM. Both earlier and later versions worked (I tried all of the ones from this site) so I'm not sure what the problem was.
I have been talking to Sun and Microsoft about this and I am trying to set-up and break a machine here.
Do you have a list of the recently installed patches for the broken machines? It would be very useful.
If so, could you e-mail them to me at [email protected]
RE: the PS, I was just checking out the e-mail address, can't be too careful ;-)
Regards,
Alastair.

Solaris 10 Cannot login

Hello World:
Those of you who are from the "old school" will get the salutation! In any case, I am have a problem with my Solaris 10 system. Recently, I ran patchadd for those patches that were downloaded by the Sun patch manager into /var/sadm/spool. After doing this, I rebooted my system and now I am receiving the following error message and cannot login except in single user mode:
ld.so.1: Login: fatal relocation error: File /usr/lib/passwdutil.so.1: symbol_nsl_fgetspent_r: Referenced symbol not found.
Also, when I login with single user mode and run the passwd command, I get the same error message.
I would greatly appreciate any help as I am under a deadline to get this system back up.
Respectfully,
Mark K.

Hi
I've run into this problem too - and found it pretty frustrating. But I think I have figured out the circumstances in which it happened (at least for me) and a workaround other than reinstalling S10 11/06.
I got the problem when applying a recent S10 SPARC patchcluster and found that login no longer worked and was crashing out with the error
ld.so.1: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/passwdutil.so.1: symbol __nsl_fgetspent_r: referenced symbol not found
I thought I had applied the patchcluster properly, rebooting when required and
continuing the patchcluster until it was all applied. The patchcluster I used was the one dated Sep/19/07. As others have reported you can boot Ok to single user but going multiuser or running login as single user gets the problem.
So I took a look at the shared lib login was complaining about getting the relocation error for.
ldd /usr/lib/passwdutil.so.1 will print out a list of the libs that passwdutil.so.1 uses. I checked through each of these looking for a text definition of the __nsl_fgetspent_r symbol via
for each lib used by passwdutil.so.1
nm lib | grep __nsl_fgetspent_r
done
and as expected could not find a global definition of the symbol.
So I then looked on another system without the Sep/19/07 patchcluster installed and found that __nsl_fgetspent_r is defined in /lib/libnsl.so.1
# nm /lib/libnsl.so.1 | grep __nsl_fgetspent_r
[4968] | 94276| 336|FUNC |GLOB |0 |10 |__nsl_fgetspent_r
But in my check on the problem system, the global def of the symbol was not in /lib/libnsl.so.1. Now our problem system was built initially from a jumpstart which automatically adds a S10 patchcluster (the May/24/07 one).
Looking through the patches in the May/24/07 cluster for those that replaced /lib/libnsl.so.1 I found patch 120473 (rev 08). This patch relaces /lib/libnsl.so.1 and its version of libnsl.so.1 includes the __nsl_fgetspent_r symbol
# nm ./10_Recommended/120473-08/SUNWcslr/reloc/lib/libnsl.so.1 | grep __nsl_fgetspent_r
[4968] | 94276| 336|FUNC |GLOB |0 |10 |__nsl_fgetspent_r
This patch is the 3rd last in the patch order file, so goes on after kernel patch 118833-36. This is important because when I applied the Sep/19/07 patchcluster and ran into the problem, this patchcluster reinstalled 118833-36 but not 120473. (I guess a reinstall of 118833-36 is the default? even if you already have 118833-36).
And 118833-36 includes /lib/libnsl.so.1. This version of libnsl.so.1 does not have a symbol def for __nsl_fgetspent_r. The Sep/19/07 patchcluster does not include patch 120473 so if you apply the patchcluster you end up with a libnsl.so.1 without the needed symbol. Patch 120473 is not included because sometime between May/24/07 and Sep/19/07 patch 120473 was made obsolete, so therefore no longer included into the patchcluster.
My workaround was to reinstall the latest (last) rev of this obsolete patch, 120472-12 to get a version of /lib/libnsl.so.1 with the symbol. This is not the best option because you aren't supposed to install obsolete patches, but the system seems ok so far (it is not a production system).
What looks like a better option rather than reinstalling an obsolete patch is to install the patch that is documented as superceding it; this is the latest kernel patch, 120011-14, which includes /lib/libnsl.so.1 with the __nsl_fgetspent_r symbol. However this patch is currently broken because it itself requires an obsolete patch, so cannot be installed. Sun should hopefully fix this soon.
