NFS problems after 5.8 kernel patch 108528-27

Platform: Solaris 8, E420R with recent recommended patch cluster

After installing the latest 5.8 kernel patch 108528-27, my two
NFS servers experienced the following problems:

1. "Warning: add-spec: no major number for SUNW,socal"

   /etc/name_to_major was missing entry for "socal 112"
   
2. NFS timeouts for all clients attempting to access volumes
   on the servers, with the error message:
   
   "NFS readdirplus failed for server cressida: error 5
     (RPC: Timed out)"
     
These two servers each have a T3 attached.

Backing out this patch resolved these problems.

Anyone else have similar problems with this kernel patch?

Dave
