Patching error on Solaris 2.6 - I know the 'fix' - do you?
Patching a Solaris 2.6 server (running application that wasn't approved for anything higher) in single user mode - loading about 120 patches.

Following error started occurring after patch 105356-23

/kernel//kernel/strmod/ptem: undefined symbol miocpullup ptem error doing common

Actual logs:

Error kept repeating during the rest of the patching.

The exact same patches were done on a test server and two other production servers with no issues. All the servers are suppose to be the exactly the same (of course they aren't but they are close - all started with the same OS and version and application).

Since this happened, investigating found only one detail different in how the other servers were patched and this one was patched. I just finished patching this server again with the one change - and all is fine. No errors.

Well, seems no one was interested in even taking a guess - closing.
