Edward, No I'm not sure and I don't know how to trap the trace as I'm basically a user who programs a bit in C and Fortran. However, I was able to install to my T43p today by adding the following to the Grub boot entry for the snv_109 DVD: -B disable-e1000g=true -kv The install went OK after that (no panic). The notebook does NOT have an e1000g interface but rather an iwi interface that many versions of Solaris 10/Nevada try to bind e1000g to. The relevant output of scanpci -v for the iwi interface: pci bus 0x000b cardnum 0x02 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x4224 Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Calexico2] Network Connection CardVendor 0x8086 card 0x1010 (Intel Corporation, Card unknown) STATUS 0x0290 COMMAND 0x0006 CLASS 0x02 0x80 0x00 REVISION 0x05 BIST 0x00 HEADER 0x00 LATENCY 0x40 CACHE 0x08 BASE0 0xb4001000 SIZE 4096 MEM BASEROM 0x00000000 addr 0x00000000 MAX_LAT 0x18 MIN_GNT 0x03 INT_PIN 0x01 INT_LINE 0x0b The notebook has a Broadcom gigE interface: pci bus 0x0002 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x14e4 device 0x167d Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express CardVendor 0x1014 card 0x0577 (IBM, ThinkPad Z60t) STATUS 0x0010 COMMAND 0x0046 CLASS 0x02 0x00 0x00 REVISION 0x11 BIST 0x00 HEADER 0x00 LATENCY 0x00 CACHE 0x08 BASE0 0xb0200000 SIZE 65536 MEM BASEROM 0x00000000 addr 0x00000000 MAX_LAT 0x00 MIN_GNT 0x00 INT_PIN 0x01 INT_LINE 0x0b I see a lurking problem as /etc/path_to_inst now has: "/pci at 0,0/pci8086,2448 at 1e/pci8086,1010 at 2" 0 "iwi" "/pci at 0,0/pci8086,2448 at 1e/pci8086,1010 at 2" 0 "e1000g" The e1000g entry is incorrect. There are two entries in /etc/driver_aliases that might cause the issue on my IBM/Lenovo T43p (and other similar vintage Lenovo machines with iwi): [t43p : /etc : 21 ] grep e1000g driver_aliases | grep 1010 e1000g "pci8086,1010" [t43p : /etc : 22 ] grep iwi driver_aliases | grep 1010 iwi "pci8086,4224.8086.1010" Only the second line is correct for my T43p.
