I found out this morning that the Update R that is meant to upgrade
SCO Xenix 2.2 to 2.3.1 only works for versions GREATER THAN ( > ) and
NOT INCLUDING 2.2.2, This is from Tech support at SCO.
Of course I found out only after doing the upgrade, I had to re-install in
the end to get it to work.
My observatiuon is that it seems to work, unless you install extra drivers,
then it won't boot the Kernel. De-installing the drivers you just installed
will allow it to boot again.
In the installation notes V2.3 Update R page 2, it says:
QUOTE
Reinstallation is necessary if either of the following is true:
o You need to enlarge your root filesystem to accomodate
the new packages you wish to install.
o You are updating from a release prior to 2.2.2
ENDQUOTE
The second paragraph should read:
o You are updating from a release prior to 2.2.3
I just want to save other people the hassle of upgrading, then reinstalling.
It is somewhat time consuming.
