Solaris 10 upgrade exiting ( caught signal 11)
Hi,
I am pretty new to Solaris and am trying to upgrade from the OBP.
I go through the process of booting from the cdrom, entering all necessary information and running the upgrade. The system completes analysis and then fail with the
EXITING (caught signal 11) error
I believe that signal 11 points to a hardware problem so I ran some diagnostics from the OBP but that didn't shed any light on the issue.
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar issue?
Cheers

pause
pause(2) System Calls pause(2)
NAME
pause - suspend process until signal
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int pause(void);
DESCRIPTION
The pause() function suspends the calling process until it receives a signal. The signal must be one that is not currently set to be
ignored by the calling process.
If the signal causes termination of the calling process, pause() does not return.
If the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function (see signal(3C)), the calling
process resumes execution from the point of suspension.
RETURN VALUES
Since pause() suspends thread execution indefinitely unless interrupted by a signal, there is no successful completion return value. If
interrupted, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pause() function will fail if:
EINTR A signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function.
