[OpenIndiana-discuss] Cannot _init zfs module after upgrade

[Lucas Van Tol]

I have been using this as my pkg command on some systems; adding the current 'kernel' package to the list of to-be installed.  

currentkern=$(pkg list -v kernel | grep pkg | awk '{print $1}') ; pkg install --deny-new-be $currentkern  *packagetobeinstalled*

Try it with '-nv' first; and verify the packages you expect are getting installed...

currentkern=$(pkg list -v kernel | grep pkg | awk '{print $1}') ; pkg install -nv --deny-new-be $currentkern  *packagetobeinstalled*
