I've been trying to upgrade a Raq3 to a Raq4 for about 2 weeks now with no luck. I restored the Raq4 software on the Raq3.
Does the server work as expected at this point (after just a vanilla OSRestore)? You are putting the RaQ 4i OS on it? Or did you add a 2nd hard drive and are doing RaQ 4r RAID restore?
I shut down all the services
How? Why?
and install SSH
From a PKG like solarspeed.net? Or from source? From an RPM?
When I start upgrading the box with the Raq4 update packages from the sun cobalt site is where I get into trouble. I don't exactly know which package does this, but the box gets corrupted. All services shut down, and you can't install anything else on it. I believe it'sthe OS 2.0 update. Has anyone had similar issues? If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks.
I have not seen anything like this - installing all PKGs in order, from bottom to top of the PKG page, should "just work"
Do you have any other errors, etc? If you're installing PKGs one at a time, you should be able to tell exactly where it blows up... any log file entries or weird error messages that could assist? What's the CMOS/ROM version on the box (SSH in as root and do "cmos -c romrev")?
