[pca] Patch 147440-25 issue

[Williamson, Richard T (Todd R Williamson)]

Make sure that your firmware is updated.  We found that servers with old firmware would not reboot when applying 147440-xx (up to 147440-19).  Once the firmware has been upgraded and the server is patched, our unbootable servers went away.

Subject: [pca] Patch 147440-25 issue

Recently installed 147440-25 on a t5120 which rendered it unbootable.  After no help from Oracle on the matter I removed the patch and regained access to the system.  Oracle's response is that because I am not patching with the patch cluster the patches are being installed in the wrong order.  Even if I ignored the history of 147400 I don't believe that's true.  I've been using PCA for years and haven't had a problem till now.  Having said all that, is there any validity to the idea that the order of patch install may be a factor?
