How to back out incorrectly installed patches - Solaris 2.7

[mrf1]

OK here's the deal - I goofed up! :-(

I have Solaris 2.7 on an Ultra 250
The following patches were installed incorrectly:
106980-15
107081-25
107636-05
108376-18

The patches were unzipped and pkgadd was run.
SO, it appears that certain files were overwritten - most notably the core shared libraries.

Now when the system boots or shuts down, there is an error similar to the following:
/usr/lib/libthread.so.1: symbol _libc_tsd_common: referenced symbol not found

I'm not sure where these bootup and shutdown messages are stored (I checked under /var/adm and /var/log)

Now, I think I can fix this but would like some assistance:

-Is it possible to just simply find which packages were installed, remove them, and re-install the "original" packages from the installation CD?
e.g. I found that SUNWcsl, SUNWcslx, SUNWxi, SUNWximx, SUNWhea, SUNWxwinc, SUNWxwman, SUNWxwpmn and SUNWxwslb are located on the original installation CD's

If I remove all the packages from the patches and then re-install the above packages will this fix the problem?

If so, then I have another issue: To install these packages, I need to mount the CDROM. Currently, "vold" fails with the same symbol error as above. SO how do I install the CDROM?
How can I determine which SCSI id is the CDROM?

Any help appreciated.


Regards,
Mike

Did you remove any patches before adding the new ones?
If not, if you use pkgrm to remove the the incorrect patches, hopefully this will put the system back to where it was. ( and hopefully working )
