Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8 for NetWare 6.5
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5

Situation

NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6 install hangs.

Resolution

If your server is running NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5 with eDirectory 8.8 SP1 installed, you should apply eDirectory Post 8.8.1 FTF1 prior to applying the Support Pack to avoid the Support Pack install from hanging.
If you did not apply the patch before installing the Support Pack and the installation hangs, apply the patch and rerun the NetWare Support Pack install.
