Solaris/x86 is a supported target for pciutils (http://mj.ucw.cz/pciutils.shtml). Or do you mean you have a sparc binary? > I don't think that lspci is exactly the analog that you think > it is - as far as I'm aware lspci doesn't allow you to put > arbitrary bytes out onto a random PCI bus, whereas pcitool does. No, but setpci / libpci does. Further, the bridges on sparc systems seem to be rather fragile, and will crash the system if you read their configuration space.
