Solaris

I have a Sun Ultra 45 that was working perfectly until i upgraded it to Update 9 with a zfs filesystem. The box is sparc based and has an internal video card. When i boot it up, i receive an X server error and, while checking /var/dt/Xerrors, the following message is displayed

Code:

Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb
XIO: fatal IO error 146 (Connection Refused) on X server ":0.0"
         after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

error (pid 749): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly 1
The loadable module for the display device SUNWnfb is not installed.

I've checked for the SUNWnfb package and it is indeed installed on the system. Are they any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Also, when i do a ls -l on /dev/fb this is the output:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Feb 10 22:43 /dev/fb -> /devices/pic@1f,700000,XVR-300@0:nfb0

have you checked for partially installed packages? was "pkginfo -p" if i remember right... also have you installed the latest patch-cluster after the installation? maybe the error is a bug un u9 and a patch will fix this... if nothing works, i would try a new installation (maybe on another disk) for testing and see if the fb is running.

I ran the pkginfo -p command and the system returned nothing. I also started the OS reinstallation last night, before leaving for the day and it finished up. After rebooting the system this morning the issue remains.

and a patch update with latest patch cluster didn't fix the problem?

I'm negotiating through the Oracle/Sun webpage maze now trying to find the correct link to the cluster.

i've found the patch clusters here:

I'm on the phone with an Oracle engineer and we've ran through several checks and it appears that there was a good install, all of the packages are there with only one non-essential package that was not completely installed. He initially thought that it was an error with the mouse or keyboard not being plugged in correctly, but i've replaced and reseated both and they seem to be working fine.
