Here is the solution for this problem. Thanks Rob Pravato, Rob Cameron (
Nortel ) for your help.

This is a known prlblem whith Solaris9. This is the Sun specified work
arount for it: Add the following line into /etc/system

   set sunddi_netifname_constraints=0

and that should allow you to do a boot -r and then the system will see it
fine.

Subject: Solaris 9 and FOREATM Sbus card drivers

Hi there,
I got the same problem you have described . Have you got the solution yet ?
Thanks
 
Sun Managers,

I am testing an installation of Solaris 9 9/02 with latest Recommended patch

cluster installed. OS is installed on a SPARCstation20 and works fine with

the onboard Ethernet NIC. We run an ATM network on our production machines

(Sparc20 and Ultra 10 running Solaris 7.) I wanted to test an upgrade path

so I loaded Solaris 9. When I tried to load the ATM software drivers from

FORE. FORE ATM card is in SBUS slot. Part of the 8 different package modules

installed however several gave the following error on post install step.

NOTE that is software works in Solaris 7 boxes configured identically.

## Executing postinstall script.

drvconfig: driver failed to attach: fore_core

adb: failed to dereference symbol: unknown symbol name

The machine will not run on ATM and when I rebooted the machine and upon

subsequest boots, I get the following messages. I am new to Solaris 9. Can

someone point me a direction to a solution on what to check. It seems the

core software fore_core isn't being loaded and then all subsequent software

pieces that rely on it fail.
