I had a working Solaris nv_44 installation on my new server (except for many hundred dollars of hot-swap hardware apparently not working with Solaris yet, grump), with X (sun server) working with the mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
I have now moved that physical system downstairs (first tests were on the dining room table); so it's plugged into a different keyboard and mouse and monitor (same size and very similar specs though), and the keyboard and mouse are connected through a KVM down here. And the X logon screen fails to come up, and when I boot in single user mode and run kdmconfig it segfaults. If I unconfigure with kdmconfig -u, that completes without error, but a new kdmconfig segfaults. I imagine I can now boot the system without the X logon screen trying to come up, though I haven't tried yet. I made sure the KVM switch was set to this server at boot, so it would see the mouse from the beginning. I suppose I could try reinstalling from scratch with the network connected and this mouse and keyboard config, but I really ought to be able to change this sort of thing later; I might buy a new mouse any day! Also "ifconfig nge0" shows flags up,broadcast, running, and some others, and the right IP, mask, and broadcast address, but pinging a neighbor or the gateway router shows 100% packet loss. It doesn't show any packet counts, so I'm wondering if the interface is *really* up. What other network config tools are there? -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b at dd-b.net>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
