Patch miniroot with cpqary3 module in Solaris 10u7x86

[Joseph L. Casale]

I am trying to follow http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/device_driver_install.jsp#adding_more_drivers to patch my miniroot for a jumpstart install with no success. I keep getting "add_drv/rem_drv currently busy; try later" errors.

Anyone know the trick?

Thanks!

This is due to a stale lock file being present in the stock miniroot on the S10 5/09 media. The workaround is to simply remove the lock file before installing the driver. This issue affects all packages with device drivers (e.g. NIC and storage).

1. Unpack the miniroot as usual.

2. Remove the stale lock file:

# rm .../my_miniroot_root/tmp/AdDrEm.lck

3. pkgadd as usual.

Yeah, I finally got it:)
Thanks for helping though. As it turns out, adding "good" drivers like HP supplied ones is working well, but I am stuck on getting that pos Marvell Yukon driver working...

Don't suppose you ever managed that one, hey:)

Thanks!
