SUMMARY: Urgent -- ifconfig: plumb: llc2: no such interface

Thank you to Chris and Mac for responding.

For some reason, the entries for 'ce' were missing in /etc/driver_aliases.
I compared with a working V440, then added the missing lines:

	ce "pci108e,abba"
	ce "pci100b,35"

After reboot -- -r (twice) the interface came up...

I should note that as part of a custom finish script we run after the
archive is recovered, we remove /etc/.UNCONFIGURED so the installer isn't
prompted to re-enter all the information they already entered as part of our
custom begin script.

Maybe we should revisit how we implement our 'custom' stuff -- but we have
been creating/restoring archives using basically the same process for years
without ever having seen this problem.

The only major change to our image baseline is the addition of Solstice Disk
Suite for disk mirroring.  I don't know if that might affect the network
interfaces, but I will look into Chris' suggestion to exclude /etc/system
from the archive, and reboot with -bas flags.

Regards,
Enoch

What is the server? Is it sufficiently different to the one the flash was
taken from?

What does:

Ls -l /dev/qfe*
Ls -l /dev/bge*
Ls -l /dev/eri*

show you?

If you have any of the above, try ifconfig qfe0 plumb
Ifconfig bge0 plumb

Etc

The thing is that if I recall correct sysidconfig should handle any
differences in network hardware.

Rgds,
Chris
