CHAPTER 10
Configuring Devices
This module of Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) describes
how to use the Solaris
TM
2.6 Intel Platform Edition Device Configuration Assistant
software, manufacturers’ device configuration media and documentation, and Device
Reference Pages to configure your x86 based system to run in the Solaris operating
environment and to solve configuration problems.
Identifying and Correcting Problems
Use the Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition Configuration Assistant program to identify
devices and the resources each device uses. If there is a problem, you must provide
device names and resource parameters so the Configuration Assistant can pass this
information to the Solaris kernel.
ISA Devices
If your system hangs or resets when you scan for ISA devices, perform these tasks
(in order, as explained in the next three sections) until you can successfully complete
the scan.
Identify a problem with an existing device.
Find and resolve resource conflicts.
Provide information about the device manually.
