The problem was solved by adding this entry to /etc/system: set kobj_map_space_len=0x300000 On Solaris 2.6, the space set aside in memory for kernel objects (such as drivers) is a fixed size. The more objects you have mapped, the more space you may need. This increases the size 3 fold. In Solaris 7 and beyond, kernel object space is dynamically allocated. mcf Mark Farone wrote: > The 3/11/2002 2.6 Recommended patch cluster was applied to a Solaris 2.6 > installation on an E4500.
