Solaris 10 Jumpstart error: panic - boot: boot: scratch memory overflow.

807559Jul 29 2008 — edited Jul 29 2008
I am setting up a Solaris Jumpstart server using a Linux server as the Boot/Config/Install server. The Sun box I am using is a v120 that will be running Solaris 10 update 5.

After running the "boot net - install" command and running through the setup the install terminates with the error
boot: failed to allocate 8192 bytes from scratch memory
panic - boot: boot: scratch memory overflow.

Program terminated
ok
ok
I found a patch (111306-07) that supposedly fixes this problem (logged as bug 4411148). Is there a specific way to add a patch to Jumpstart so that it installs before the system reboots after the main install is done? I know the patches folder goes off of the added on date for the patch and not a patch_order file, does that mean it can just be placed in the folder and will be added automatically? Has anyone seen this error message before on their own systems?

Thanks in advance for any help.
