Ah. Not so good. Upgrading from '98 to '99 on my Ultra 40 resulted in
an unusable system. After booting, and before getting to Hostname: it
started reporting errors:
atapi_start_cmd: drive select failed
WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ata0):
timeout: early timeout, target=0 lun=0
this repeated once a minute or so. After about 10 minutes it started to
look like it was actually making progress (hostname, read ZFS config,
mount ZFS filesystems, reporting the above errors through syslog rather
than straight to the console), but then a few minutes later appeared to
stop making any progress at all, the ata errors disappearing. I will
get onto defect.opensolaris, I just wanted to warn people here.
