Hi.
Solaris 10 works ok with LS20, however I have a problem installing it
on LS21. Just after kernel boots it hangs (no panic, nothing) both on U2 and U3.

And then nothing else happens.
It did booted with snv_49 but then stopped installing (jumpstart over the net)
as it didn't recognize network interface :( The same with snv_53.
Network interface is Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706, with pci id: pci14e4,16aa.
Assigning bge driver in driver_aliases to 14e4,16aa produces only warning
message that chipset is not recognized and it doesn't work.
There's an external driver named bnx (I have an 2.8.5 version) for Solaris 10
x86 GLDv2 based, well I can install it it recognized both NICs in LS21 but it
seems there're some serious problems with it on snv_49 and snv_53 - I got many
nfs server unresponding, then ok, and I can't go with installation (it either
hangs or is so slow that after 20 minutes I'm still in 'Setting up JAVA" stage.
Using snoop on install server I can see some network traffic - but barely and
so retransmits.
I can't use S10 as it doesn't even boot.
I really would like to put Solaris on those LS21 blades....
Is 14e4,16aa going to be supported by bge?
Any ideas what can I do about S10 in order to install it?
