[install-discuss] b65 to b75 upgrade failure with SUNWaudiohd

[Neil Sharman]

When I tried to upgrade from b65 to b75 I had a failure during 
the checking phase of the upgrade.

After examining the upgrade_log file I found the following text 
embedded in it.

Installation of <SUNWnisr> was successful.
Doing pkgadd of SUNWaudiohd to /
192 blocks
drvconfig: modctl failed to add major number binding.
Error 0
drvconfig: modctl failed to add major number binding.
Error 0
drvconfig: modctl failed to add major number binding.
Error 0
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully

Has anyone got any idea as to what could be the cause of this?

I removed the SUNWaudiohd package from my b65 install 
and installed the SUNWaudiohd package from my b75 DVD 
and both the install and new driver worked perfectly. In fact 
the b75 audiohd driver appears better than the b65 driver.

I then tried reinstalling b75 hoping that because the b75 audiohd 
driver was already installed the upgrade process would skip it. 
It didn't and I got the same problem.

Any ideas anyone?

Neil
