[oi-dev] hipster 2021-10 failed to boot after pkg update

[Klaus Elsbernd]

Urgent help needed :-(

a server (supermicro/xeon) has been installed and upgraded to 2021-10. 
It was last updated on 2021:12:12. Today I updated the packages with

pkg update

Now the system failed to boot into multi-user/single-user mode with the 
following services not started:

Enter user name tor system maintenance (control-d to bypass): root
Enter root password (control-d to bypass): single-user privilege 
assigned to root on /dev/conso1e.

The machine is booting OpenIndiana Hipster 2021.10 version 
illumos-b0d58672df 64-bit. Some notable errors

acpinex: cpu at 0, cpudrv0
/fw/sb at 0/socket at 0/cpu at 0 (cpudrv0) online
pseudo-device: cld0
cld0 is Zpseudo/cld at 0
sorry, variable 'ip_squeue_worker_wait' is not defined in the 'ip' module
PCI Express-device: pciBBBB,3cB2 at l. pcieb0

One message appeared on the console, indicating an error with a NVIDIA 
module. But there is no NVIDIA graphic card installed:

/kernel/drv/amd64l/nvidia.modeset: undefined symbol 'nvidia_get_rm_ops'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'nvidia.modeset'
WARNING: nvidia_modeset: unable to resolve dependency, module 'nvidia' 
not found

This is the second machine I lost. The only solution was then to boot 
the previous boot environment 2021:12:12.

Any ideas?
