[pca] patching broke my server!

probably not a PCA issue but has anyone seen this problem?

patched the latest recommended and security patches on a v245 and now it 
wont boot. It finds the kernel but then spews out a whole load of errors 
like this:

/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pci_pci: undefined symbol 'pcie_init_ppd'
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pci_pci: undefined symbol 'pf_fini'
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pci_pci: undefined symbol 'pf_init'
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pci_pci: undefined symbol 'pcie_uninit_ppd'
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pci_pci: undefined symbol 'pcie_is_child'

/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pxb_bcm: undefined symbol 'pcie_is_child'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'pxb_bcm'
.....
lots more

before dropping back to the ok prompt.

looks like a mismatch between kernel and modules. I rolled back the 
kernel patch from 137111 but the undefined symbol problem persists.

I have a call in with sun but this is pretty urgent and the box only has 
silver support.

Any friendly advice would be welcome.
