I'm pretty sure that Solaris 10 doesn't include support for the E3500 since that hardware came out in the late '90s. You could check Sun's website to verify that. If it isn't supported by Solaris 10, you probably should install an older version which is supported on that hardware. If not you will tend to run into lots of goofy problems like the 2 you described.

;-) my test boxes:
scnode1# uname -a
SunOS scnode1 5.10 Generic_118822-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
scnode1# prtdiag | head -1
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u 8-slot Sun Enterprise E4500/E5500
scnode2# uname -a
SunOS scnode2 5.10 Generic_118822-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
scnode2# prtdiag | head -1
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u 5-slot Sun Enterprise E3500

and it is supported ... sunsolve

could you post the command which you use to uncompress the r&s patchcluster and what is the "out" file name?

by the way:
i use solaris 10 update 1, 01/06, and my hummingbird client is working fine after a fresh installation without changing anything. as i can see, XDMCP should be enabled per default like on the older versions....

Thanks for the information. That is a suprise to me they still support stuff that old with the latest OS versions. I looked through that link you gave and found my confusion. The restriction I was thinking of is that you can't put older versions of Solaris on the newest boxes so I basically had it backwards. Old box with new OS is ok - New box with old OS isn't.

Yes that's mostly it, although Solaris 10 does not support some of the really old pre-sun4u processors.

yes, true, well that would mean that you would have to know what the future will bring :-)
to be honest, solaris10 is the first release from sun where they don't support the veryveryvery old mashines with the superscalar sparcs. in the past, you were able to install solaris9 on every mashine from sun which was ever sold. even on the old IPX or sparcstations. that's a very nice advantage of solaris against e.g. IBM AIX, that you can run the same OS on the oldest and newest sun or smallest and biggest. Solaris doesn't depend on the hardware it's always the same core kernel image, everything else is made with enviroment-modules...

example:
Code:
E4500
root@scnode2 # modinfo
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c3720   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077fc8  1d99a   -   0  krtld ()
  2  10908c0 19f348   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de7b0    748   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11dee00   d048   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-II ()
.....
...
..

ultra5
root@mptest01 # modinfo | more
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c3720   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077fc8  1d992   -   0  krtld ()
  2  10908c0 19f348   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de7b0     a8   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11de880   d048   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi ()
....
..
.

V440
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c35b0   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077e70  1d99a   -   0  krtld ()
  2  1090768 19f2d8   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de5e8    c38   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11df100  14388   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi ()
...
..
.

just have a look into your /platform directory, you will see there which mashines are supported by your solaris revision
