The kernel patch 106541-05 doesn't properly process postpatch.
I manually run postpatch but didn't work.
Finally, I boot from CD and run upgrade.
It only takes about an half hour to upgrade compare with four hours
tried to fix the problem. All the system data, setting, even patches
are reserved.
System is back on-line after upgrading installation.
Thanks for help, too many to name.
