1.Solaris 8 02/02 to Solaris 8 02/04
If you install the 02/02 version, how do you upgrade to the 02/04
version?
Is it a case of just patching or do you need to do an upgrade install
with the 02/04 CDs?
2.install problems with Solaris 8 2/02 and serial console
Hi,
I have had a rather long weekend reinstalling and restoring (from slow
tapes) one of our servers but for some reasons the installation would
always fail at the same spot: after booting from software 1/2 and answering
all the question about system being networked, IP address, name services
and time zones, the installation would simply stop (with please wait
message) and I always had to restart the machine at that point (a wait or
an hour or so should be enough for the system to pick up where it stopped,
right?). After a couple of reboots, I figured it would be easier to press
^C, delete /tmp/.suninstall and type suninstall to get the actual
installation done. That would work, until the reboot, where machine noticed
that not everything was configure and would start sysconfig (or whatever)
and ask questions about system being networked, IP address, name services
etc etc after which it would simply hang (or so it seems).
At the end, I had to reboot the machine in a single user mode, enter all
the information manually (/etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/TIMEZONE etc etc).
After that, everything worked fine.
The machine in question (E220R) is a headless one with a "real" serial
console attached to it, but the same thing happens if I attach it to a
console server.
Why is this happening? Is there something in the inital configure utility
that stops the terminal? How can I avoid this problem if it happens again?
Is it only me?
Bye, Dragan

3.sunblade 1000, solaris 8 (02/02) and recommended patches
Hi - got me a problem.
Sunblade 1000 - vanilla install of solaris 8 (02/02 - everything plus
OEM). Applied latest recommended patches (downloaded from sunsolve
just last week).
Box boots fine, and is avialbel on the network. Then after maybe 30
minutes or so it just dies - powers itself off!
I wondered if it was because of the "power saving stuff" so I ran
un-sysconfig and re-did the usual stuff... but I noticed it deffo
didn't ask me about power-saving options. So I have no idea of this
is what is occuring or not!
There is nothing shown in the messages file. The following was shown
on the console (well, laptop and hyperterminal session!)
ultra25 console login:

Has anybody any ideas? The company that owns this box (I'm a
contractor) has no sun maintenenace on it (or any other sunblade 1000
come to that!) so I can't call Sun for any ideas.
cheers

4.How to find whether Solaris 8(02/04) or Solaris 8(02/02) ?
How do I find out whether the OS running in my machine is 'Solaris
8(02/04)' or 'Solaris 8(02/02)' ?
5.Solaris 8 2/02 to Solaris 8 2/04
OK. I originally installed Solaris 8 2/02 and then downloaded and
installed all exisiting patches.
How do I 'upgrade' to Solaris 8 2/04? I thought it was just a case of
installing all the patches but, obviously not. Do I need to get a
Solaris 8 2/04 CD and upgrade over the top of the existing installation?
6. [PATCH 02/02 V3] net/ipv6: seperate sit driver to extra module (addrconf.c changes)
7. [PATCH 02/02] USB: add dynamic id functionality to USB core
