Solaris 10 u6 don't boot after updates installl (May 11)

807557May 12 2009 — edited May 22 2009
Hi:

Yesterday at nigth I ran updatemanager and installed several updates.

Then said to reboot in the updatemanager checkbox.

After that, at boot started to apear a fast message saying on several lines something about something
wrong with " ... IPv4 ...", could't get more on those messages.
Then it looped back to boot.

Booted on failsafe mode, and selected to synchronize the boot archive (which the system offered on login).

After that the normal boot just loop back to grub.

Looking into logs I found that there was a failure installing patch 139556-09.

Found the ".jar" under /a/var/sadm/spool, and tried to install it from failsafe mode,
without success. The best I got ended in a message that it could not create a path
which mentioned sometrhing like "/.Failsafe .../" .

As far as I can remember there was 2 patches that required reboot.

But there was several other, and I really don't know which is "responsible"
for not allowing the system to boot.

It is my home PC, so I can't open a service request.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks
Pablo
