Brian,

That's could be an issue. The flar was created on x4100 box about an year ago so it might have an old driver. If the x4140 is expecting a new driver, then it explains why its not working.

Now answer to your question.
bash-3.00# prtdiag
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems     Sun Fire X4140
BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 080014  10/15/2008
BMC Configuration: IPMI 2.0 (KCS: Keyboard Controller Style)
<< trim >>
==== On-Board Devices =====================================
Gigabit Ethernet #1
Gigabit Ethernet #2
Gigabit Ethernet #3
Gigabit Ethernet #4
AST2000 VGA
<< trim >>

prtconf doesn't report Ethernet in its output.

Hope that provides enough information to divert troubleshooting one direction or the other.

Thanks,
sam
Then you may need to confirm the device can be seen with prtdiag/prtconf/scanpci as appropriate.
I'm assuming the nge driver was delivered with the flar?

Try "ifconfig -a plumb". What gets plumbed?

Team,

I am installing Solaris 10 x4140 from a flar file that was created from x4100. It goes through installation file but after the reboot I get following error at boot.

I can't plumb the nge0 interface manually either.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
