[cobalt-users] RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-5.0.pkg, server down after install

[Charles Teton <info@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just went and installed the RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-5.0.pkg, download from 
Sun. Waited 45 minutes for re-boot button to come up, it didn't. So I 
re-loaded installer page which showed the update as loaded and had all 
the 'Obsoletes Previous Updates' removed from the list.

Re-booted and server never came back on-line, contacted NetNation's 
great 24/7 support who had noticed it wasn't responding to pings. They 
rebooted server a few times... It seems to reboot OK and has host name 
and IP address configured through the LCD, but is completely dead to 
the network.

Only entry in /var/log/messages:

Dec 18 08:26:58 www kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for 
poprelayd...

Does anyone please have a clue?

I would say people should possibly hold off installing update until any 
issues have been sorted... I'm just too eager and stupid...
