Hello Admins,

My system:
ES40 (2x667MHz CPU, 6 GB RAM) Tru64Unix 5.1 PK4

We are on the road to migrate oracle from 7.3.4 to 9.2
Oracle requested to do the following patch upgrades ;

................................Start Note....................
5.1 patchkit 5 or greater is required.You must edit the following parameter
in the /etc/sysconfigtab:
vm: new_wire_method = 0
vfs: fifo_do_adaptive = 0
The following O/S patches are also required:
1. T64V51B19-C0125001-14319-E-20020516.tar (C1250.01 PatchId) -- DECthreads
V3.18-138A fix
2. T64V51B19-C0151600-15736-E-20021017.tar (C1516.00 PatchId) - Fix for
directIO data inconsistencies.
They are available at:
http://ftp1.support.compaq.com/public/unix/v5.1/earlyreleasepatches/oracle/
.....................End Note.........................

Because pathckit 6 exists, I decided to directly go to PK6..

After PK6 installation has been successfully done, I hesitated to apply
other two individual patches. But Oracle person insisted on them..

for (C1250.01 PatchId) -- DECthreads V3.18-138A fix
I have found the following note in the patch doc
>>>The patches in this ERP kit will also be available in the next mainstream
patch kit - Tru64 UNIX 5.1 Patch Kit 6.<<<

But in PK6 doc, I have never seen info about this patch..

when we try to apply these 2 patches, I have get the following problems..

**********************Start Note***************************************
