Summary: WARNING: /proc could not be mounted

 All
	Many thanks to all of you who responded to my pleadings,
especially Jeff Claunch, Steve Starer and Matthew D'Arcy, but not to
those with the ever helpful 'Out of Office' responses.
I did attempt to back out the cluster but that proved to be too time
consuming, so in the end I did the decent thing and rebuilt the system
from the install disks and then patched again; however, I did follow the
advice of Steve and go to the single user mode from a reboot (reboot --
-s) before installing the patch cluster. Once the patch cluster was
successfully installed, I then mirrored the disks. I know it is a
cop-out, but I was time constrained against a delivery deadline, so
unfortunately I don't have a decent reason as to why it occurred in the
first place, and hopefully if I follow this procedure next time, I won't
have the problem again.


Thanks - Ian

Gurus
    I am in the process of configuring a v210 system with Solaris 9 9/04
and then applying the patch cluster which contains the kernel patch
118558-20, please don't ask why.
I've installed the OS, mirrored the disks and installed the patch
cluster.
After rebooting the system I now get this: -

Rebooting with command: boot

Bus Error

WARNING - fatal error from fsck - error 138 Unable to repair the /
filesystem. Run fsck manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/md/rdsk/d10). System
will reboot when you exit the shell.

Type control-d to proceed with normal startup, (or give root password
for system maintenance):


Is there a 'get out of jail' procedure for this problem, or do I have to
go to site to rebuild the system?

I've tried the fsck option, but I get a Bus Error when I attempt it.

Any Ideas?

Thanks - Ian
