Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
NOTE 1:	 This patch may contain one or more OEM-specific platform ports.
	 See the appropriate OEM_NOTES file within the patch for information
	 specific to these platforms.
 
	 DO NOT INSTALL this patch on an OEM system if a corresponding
	 OEM_NOTES file is not present or states not to install, unless the
	 vendor directs otherwise.
 
NOTE 2:  If possible, perform patch installation in single user mode.  If this 
	 can not be done, we recommend having the system in as quiet a state
	 as possible: no users logged on, no user jobs running.
 
NOTE 3:  System Boot and Error Messages
         --------------------------------
	 This patch improves the system boot and error message format by 
	 providing a unique identifier, module name, and time stamp to messages  
	 generated by the syslogd(1M) logging facility. In addition, messages 
	 that were previously lost after a system panic and reboot are now 
	 saved. 
 
	 A msgid(1M) command is provided for OEMs who want to generate message
	 catalogs that map message IDs to message text.  See msgid(1M) for 
	 details.
 
	 The new message format can be enabled or disabled by setting the msgid
	 property in the log.conf file; see log(7D) for details.  The new 
	 message format is not enabled by default.
 
	 New System Error Message Format
 
	 If msgid is set to 0 in the log.conf file, there are no changes in the
	 message format. If msgid is set to 1, there are two changes in the
	 message format:
 
         1. The text of the message is preceded by a message ID that looks 
	    like this:
 
            [ID <msgid> <facility>.<priority>]
 
            For example:
 
            [ID 123456 kern.notice]
 
            The <msgid> identifier is described in msgid(1M). The <facility> and
            <priority> tags are described in syslog.conf(4).
 
         2. If the message originated in the kernel, the kernel module name is
            displayed instead of just 'unix.'
 
            Previous message format:
 
            Oct  1 14:07:24 venus unix: alloc: /: file system full
 
            New message format:
 
            Oct  1 14:07:24 venus ufs: [ID 845546 kern.notice] alloc: /: file system full \
	    How to Enable or Disable System Message IDs
 
	    1. Become superuser.
 
            2. Enable or disable system message IDs by setting the msgid property
               in the file /platform/`uname -i`/kernel/drv/log.conf if it exists,
               or /kernel/drv/log.conf otherwise.
 
               a. To enable system message IDs, add this line:
 
               msgid=1;
 
               b. To disable system message IDs, add this line:
 
               msgid=0;
 
            3. Save and close the file.
 
            4. Reboot the system.
 
NOTE  4:  If you have a Net Install Image created by setup_install_server, please 
          apply this patch to the miniroot.  Refer to the patchadd manpage for
          the exact syntax.
 
          PAE (Physical Address Extension)
           --------------------------------
 
           WARNING: It is possible that some device drivers may be written with
           assumptions about 4GB being the maximum amount of memory on an Intel
           Architecture system. Sun has tested the systems with PCI device
           drivers written by Sun. Sun's OEM partners intend to test their
           systems with devices that they supply on machines with more than
           4 GB of memory. However, if a third party device driver is added to
           the system by the end user, there is a danger that system will become
           unstable with potentials for PANICs and data corruption. If this
           device is needed, then the PAE support can be forcibly disabled
           as follows:
 
           Reboot the system.
           Interrupt autoboot by pressing ESC.
           When the Configuration Assistant provides the Boot menu,
 
           - Choose Boot Tasks (F4).
           - Choose View/Edit Property Settings.
           - Choose Create Properties (F4)
           - Specify Property name as mmu-modlist.
           - Specify Value as mmu32.
           - Go back to Boot Menu and continue booting normally.
 
NOTE  5:   To get the complete fix for 4201921, please also install the /kernel/sched/TS
           107463-01, or its newer version.  
 
NOTE  6:   To get the complete fix for 4240566 (security: LC_MESSAGES buffer overflow),
           we recommend installing the following patches:
 
         	106794-03 (or newer)   ufsdump and ufsrestore patch
         	107973-01 (or newer)   /usr/sbin/static/rcp patch
 
NOTE  7:    Reboot the system after the Kernel Update patch is installed.  
 
            It must be noted that upon the initial update of a system running Solaris 7 
            to 106542-04 or later revisions of the KU patch, a reboot(1M) or a halt(1M)
            should be used, rather than shutdown(1M).  This is because shutdown hangs
            due to modifications to the system's /etc/inittab resulting from the
            application of rev04 (or newer) revisions of the Kernel Update patch.
 
	    This behavior, however, is only true on the initial application of these
            patch revisions.  Subsequent updates should not adversely affect shutdown as
            the modifications would have already been in place.
 
NOTE  8:    To get the complete fix for 4196832, please also install the libthread patch,
	    106981-08, or its newer revision.
 
NOTE  9:    On a system running Solaris 7 11/99, installation of this Kernel Update Patch
            (or its newer revision) will also require installation of patch 107172-05 
            which contains a fix for patchrm.  Without this "patchrm" patch, the Kernel 
            Update -09 (or its newer revisions) cannot be backed out.
 
NOTE 10:    To get the complete fix for bug 4124715 (DENIAL OF
		  SERVICE IN CONNECTION ORIENTED TRANSPORTS), one also
		  needs to install the following patches:
 
			106943-09  (or newer)   libnsl & rpc.nisd
			107478-03  (or newer)   /usr/lib/nfs/mountd 
			108749-01  (or newer)	/usr/lib/nfs/statd
			108751-01  (or newer)	/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind
			108755-01  (or newer)	/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypxfrd
			108757-01  (or newer)	/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated
			108759-01  (or newer)	/usr/sbin/keyserv
			108761-01  (or newer)	/usr/sbin/rpcbind
			108763-01  (or newer)	/usr/sbin/rpc.nisd_resolv
			108765-01  (or newer)	/usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd
			108552-03  (or newer)	/usr/sbin/rpc.nispasswdd
 
NOTE 11:  To get the complete fix for bug 4302592 (TLI llibrary is not fork-safe), will
          require to install patch 106943-14 or newer.
 
NOTE 12:  To get the complete fix for bug 4253437 (Async I/O problem), will require
          to install patch 108245-02 or newer.
 
NOTE 13:  Due to a patchrm(1M) bug (4388023), patch 107172-07 or newer
          must be installed before patch 106542-14 or newer can be backed
          out.
 
NOTE 14:  The complete fix for bug 4366956 (NLSPATH gettext introduces
          problems when used printf format specifier) requires that you
          install patches:
 
               106794-07   (or newer)   usr/lib/fs/ufs/ufsrestore
               107973-02   (or newer)   usr/sbin/static/rcp
               107476-02   (or newer)   usr/sbin/in.telnetd
 
NOTE 15: The complete fix for bug 4258764 (memory corruption in RPCSEC_GSS refresh
         entry point) requires that you install patches 107842-03 and 111196-01
         or newer.
 
NOTE 16: The fix for bug 4160727 will no longer allow syslogd to forward the mark
         message to other systems.  The mark message is a system time stamp, and
         so is only defined for the system on which syslogd is running.  It can
         not be forwarded to other systems.
 
         The fix for bug 4309712 can cause the sending of a mail message to the
         superuser.  When syslogd receives a HUP signal, it attempts to close all
         log files to which it is currently logging messages.  If, for some
         reason, one of these files does not close within a generous grace period,
         syslogd shuts down, logging an error message to the console.  If the
         console is one of the files which did not successfully close, syslogd
         instead sends a mail message to the superuser on the current system
         stating that it shut down, and that the console was not responding.
 
         The fix for bug 4353901 fully allows forwarding of messages which contain
         characters defined in the system default locale.  Care should be taken
         to ensure that each window displaying messages forwarded by syslogd
         (especially console windows) is run in the system default locale (which is
         syslogd's locale).  If this advice is not followed, it may be possible for
         a syslog message to alter the terminal settings for that window, possibly
         even allowing remote execution of arbitrary commands from that window.
 
NOTE 17: The fix for bug 4408508 fixes bugs that prevent some users of Pentium 4
         and possibly certain Celeron machines from booting.  On affected systems, 
         Solaris 7 can only be installed using the workaround described below to
         permit installation of the system. Installation of this patch then makes
         it possible for the system to boot without the workaround.
 
         Procedure:
 
         When prompted for "select boot(b) or interpreter(i)",  type "b kadb -d"
         The system will prompt with "kernel/unix", at which point you should press 
         ENTER.
 
         A kadb prompt will then appear.  At this prompt, type the command 
         "setup_mca?v0xc3".  Another kadb prompt will appear.  At this prompt,
         type ":c".  The system will then begin to come up normally.  One of the
         questions asked during the installation is whether to reboot once the 
         installation has completed.  You must  answer "no" to this question.
         Once the installation has completed, this patch is then to be
         installed using the "-R /a" option.  It is only after this patch 
         has been installed that you can then reboot the system.
