What is Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf9100b, the UnixWare 7.1.4+ Supplement?


Problem Fixed
-------------

  The following fixes were first provided with ptf9100a and are also
  contained in ptf9100b:

  1. Setting the boot parameter ACPI=Y actually causes the system
     to behave as if ACPI=N.  This has been fixed.

  2. Fix errors in the retrieval and interpretation of device configuration
     information from ACPI tables.
     fz536069

  3. Fix errors seen when configuring the network with netcfg or
     scoadmin network.

  Fix provided in ptf9100b:

Software Notes and Recommendations
----------------------------------

  ptf9100b should only be installed on:

  UnixWare 7.1.4+

  Note the following if you are installing this patch on a system that
  has not previously had any version of ptf9100 installed:

  As noted above in item 1 in the list of fixes, installing this patch
  will change the behavior of ACPI=Y.  If you have ACPI=Y specified in your
  system's /stand/boot file, it is recommended that before installing
  the patch, you change it to ACPI=N and also reboot the system to confirm
  that the system operates correctly once that change is made.

  Also, as noted in item 2 in the list of fixes, installing this patch
  fixes some problems in the interpretation of ACPI tables.  It's therefore
  possible that after installation of this patch, a system that previously
  required the ACPI boot parameter to be set may no longer need that setting.
  Some experimentation may be needed to determine whether this is the case.
