Couple of possiblities. Is one machine a multi-CPU and the other
a uniprocessor? I was told by one of our UNIX admins at work that
Solaris 2.5 (which you have above) requires a full working day to
install all of the patches after upgrading a SPARC workstation from
an older SunOS or Solaris 2.4 os. Could the problem machine be
missing one of these patches? We will be hoping that Solaris 2.6
does not require as many patches.
Have you tried posting this to comp.sys.sun.misc or
comp.unix.solaris ?
