Sparc2 w/ Solaris 2.6 won't boot

Initial problem :

-----------------

We've just patched a Solaris 2.6 (8/97) running on a Sparc 2.

The patches have been correctly applied with no problems whatsoever,

but the station hangs when rebooting.

Here is the error message :

  boot: cannot find

  boot: error loading interpreter {}

  Elf read error

  boot failed

  Enter filename [/platform/sun4c/kernel/unix]:

Anyone ever seen that before?

Suggestions :

-------------

Matthew R. Fuerst <FuersMR@northamerica.stortek.com> suggested the

problem might come from the Sparc 2 being a sun4c platform.

I checked, the patch clusters include patches for several

architectures when applicable, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Solution :

----------

We wiped the disk and installed the 3/98 release of 2.6, patched

it, and it works just fine. I'd appreciate it if any managers

out there who have successfully patched 8/97 releases could inform

me, precising if it's a sun4c or sun4m platform.

Thanks,

        Daniel
