Hello, I have just wiped and loaded a system with 2008.11. It was running 2008.05, and prior to that Windows Vista 64 Home Premium (on a driver no longer in the system).
Since installing 2008.11 I have noticed the following messages at the tail end of /var/adm/messages after the system boots. I've done some digging but come up pretty empty on what this means....

Dec 3 20:35:13 liberty mac: [ID 736570 kern.info] NOTICE: nge1 unregistered I'm not terribly concerned about performance, but I would like the system to be functional... It has 5 SATA disks in a hot swap backplane and it's intended to serve a website or two (amp stack stuff) and also as a file server (cifs or perhaps just ftp). I can't very well do either if this IRQ issue will cause reliability problems. I have not experience any warnings or performance issues with the other OS installs on this same hardware, save the disks it's been a functional system for over a year. I have the BIOS configured to automatically manage the IRQ assignments. Can anyone explain what these IRQ messages mean and what impact they might have for me? Thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
