Workaround 2: If the system does not have a DVD drive, then use setup_install_server
from CD1 to create an image locally for the upgrade to use. Run the following commands:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./setup_install_server <local_location>
# luupgrade -u -n s10u4_ABE -s <local_location>
Panic in PCIe as dev_info Node Has No Parent Data
(6517798)
The Solaris OS might panic with a null pointer dereference if the driver.conf le has been
modied using the parent attribute. The following error message is displayed:
System panic: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a101d31200 addr=8 mmu_fsr=0
occurred in module "pcie" due to a NULL pointer dereference
Workaround: Before you install the Solaris 10 8/07 or Solaris 10 5/08 OS on a PCI Express
(PCIe) based SPARC system, check if you have modied the driver.conf les as described
below:
1. Change to the /kernel/drv directory.
2. Check if the parent attribute is set in the driver.conf le. If the parent attribute has been
set and the last node in the parent has the word pci in it, comment out that line. Ensure that
you comment out the entire property. For example:
# name="ACME,simple" parent="/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9"
# unit-address="3,1" debug-mode=12;
name="ACME,example" parent="pseudo" instance=1;
name="ACME,scsi" parent="/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/scsi"
unit-address="3,1" debug-mode=12;
3. Repeat step 2 for the driver.conf les in the following directories:
■
/usr/kernel/drv
■
/platform/‘uname -i‘/drv
■
/platform/‘uname -m‘/drv
4. Install the Solaris 10 8/07 or Solaris 10 5/08 OS.
5. Install patch 127747-01.
6. Change to the directories listed in steps 1 and 3. Uncomment all the lines that were
commented out in step 2 in the driver.conf les.
