Re: Adding a driver

I don't know what else to suggest at this point. Just a couple of
"did you plug it in and turn it on" things...

Is the board installed in the machine?

Are you trying to load a 32 bit driver in a 64 bit OS or v/v?

Is that _really_ your device's PCI ID? Does it also have a
subsystem ID? I don't remember which one Solaris will pick up.
(Time for someone who knows something...)

At least in the past, the "failed to attach" message covered a
multitude of sins and wasn't very informative.

You did give me an idea. I shut down the machine and resitted the
device. It felt like the device was not sitted correctly.

I restarted the machine and ran my install script hoping my attach
function would be executed. No dice. the same thing occurred. I got
the following error, "devfsadm: driver failed to attached: getcatds"

Is the a function I can call to probe the PCI bus just to check my my
device is there?
