I recently replaced the power supply on my computer when the original one started to whine.
Now - if I boot Solaris (Nevada 41) with the network cable connected, the system stops at: NOTICE: nge0: link 100Mbps Full-Duplex up It doesn't respond to a ctrl-C. I can boot into Solaris without the cable attached but it is *slow*. When I log on (Gnome), I can eventually start up a terminal but this is after minutes of waiting and/or multiple requests. If I then connect the machine to the network, the desktop stops responding to the mouse/keyboard. The Caps Lock key does not light up when toggled on/off. If I disconnect the cable again, the desktop stays frozen - it doesn't just start responding again. Strangely - I can ping the machine from another host. I thought this was crazy, so I watched the pings fail when I removed the network cable, and succeed again when I re-inserted it. I don't think I ever enabled sshd on the machine, and I can't ssh onto it. I've tried this with different cables, and different routers without any variance in the result. The computer dual-boots into Windows and under that OS, everything works fine. I don't have anything on the machine that I can't afford to lose. It's just a bashbox for me to learn Solaris. I can try a fresh install of a more recent build, but this problem doesn't seem intractable and I'm interested to know what might be the cause.
