D.7 Patched Virtual Machine Might Not Work in Certain Cases

After using the -p (--patch) option, the virtual machine will not work if the kernel or a service in the new Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition binary contains arguments or command parameters that are different from those used in the original virtual machine.

To solve this problem, do the following:

1. Disassemble the virtual machine image by using the -d (--disassemble) option of the Image Tool.

2. Make sure that the <jrockitve-binary-url> element in the configuration file specifies the correct location of the new Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition binary (jrockitve.bin).

3. Assemble the virtual machine image afresh by using the -a (--assemble) option of the Image Tool.
