Problem with Solaris system on x86. It would not boot again after updates.

Hi All,

I have an x86 system which I have just installed Solaris 10 on, I intend to use this as a database server for Oracle, I tried to patch the server with the latest updates from SUN in preparation for the Oracle installation as I wanted to make sure that I was running the latest patches.

On the update manager, I ticked everything and after the reboot, some of the installation failed because there isn't enough space, got some allow errors. On this server, I also have windows XP as a multiboot, I think I might have installed an update that does something to the boot manager.

Here is the error I get when switched on.

Findroot(rootfs0,1,a)
Filesystem type is ufs, partition type 0xbf
Kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
[Multiboot-elf,
Module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

Error 3: Bad or corrupt data while compressing file.
