Tunla, I've tried to fix this following your suggestions:
Background: [b]Gigabyte GA-X38T-DQ6[/b] mobo, with dual Realtek PCIExpress gigabit ethernet interfaces. # scanpci indicates this machine has two RTL8111/8168B "PCIExpress" interfaces Given this, I have modified the driver_aliases file to indicate Identifier: [b]pciex10ec[/b] instead of pci10ec as it had been. Again, please note: the default Solaris install identified these as pci10ec 8169s - they are 8168s. Ran sys-uninstall and rebooted... modinfo shows the rge Realtek module loaded (with info field value 215 - what does this mean?) # ifconfig -a shows both interfaces up, with IP and MAC addresses assigned. # ifconfig -a plumb indicates SIOCSLIFNAME is set up for both interfaces. However, still cannot ping anything on our net. Strangely, our router does receive frames from this machine! So, something is - sort of - working! An aside: am still getting the error at configuration after sys-unconfig: error while trying to configure the name service switch file: config_nsswitch error -4, errno 2, No such file or directory. I can manually create the nsswitch.dns file, of course, but this error is weird... I'd be happy to install openSolaris, if I had any reason to think it would solve my problem. (By the way, we have a lot of experience with Solaris (Commercial) on SPARC hardware; this is our first x86 install, however...) Can you suggest the next thing I might try here? Thanks again in advance, Lou This message posted from opensolaris.org
