The "ge" driver seems to be on the system because it's listed in path_to_inst
Does the file /etc/hostname.ge0 exist? If not, create it with the required hostname in it. Also check that hostname appears in /etc/hosts with its required ip address.
Reboot the system including the -r (reconfigure) switch
Does the boot sequence still report "cannot plumb ge0"?
Add "-v" also to get a verbose boot.
Once the system is up, what does the output of modinfo look like? Is the ge module loaded?
I am trying to change an IP address on a machine running HPUX10
After I change it I can ping it from the outside but it completely locks the console. After a reboot it returns back to its previous IP. Any ideas??
Thanks

path_to_inst
path_to_inst(4) File Formats path_to_inst(4)NAME
path_to_inst - device instance number file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/path_to_inst
DESCRIPTION
/etc/path_to_inst records mappings of physical device names to instance numbers.
The instance number of a device is encoded in its minor number, and is the way that a device driver determines which of the possible
devices that it may drive is referred to by a given special file.
In order to keep instance numbers persistent across reboots, the system records them in /etc/path_to_inst.
This file is read only at boot time, and is updated by add_drv(1M) and drvconfig(1M).
Note that it is generally not necessary for the system administrator to change this file, as the system will maintain it.
The system administrator can change the assignment of instance numbers by editing this file and doing a reconfiguration reboot. However,
any changes made in this file will be lost if add_drv(1M) or drvconfig(1M) is run before the system is rebooted.
Each instance entry is a single line of the form:
"physical name" instance number "driver binding name"
where
physical name is the absolute physical pathname of a device. This pathname must be enclosed in double quotes.
instance number is a decimal or hexadecimal number.
driver binding name is the name used to determine the driver for the device.
This name may be a driver alias or a driver name. The driver binding name must be enclosed in double quotes.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample path_to_inst Entries
Here are some sample path_to_inst entries:
"/iommu@f,e0000000" 0 "iommu"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000" 0 "sbus"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/sbusmem@e,0" 14 "sbusmem"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/sbusmem@f,0" 15 "sbusmem"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/ledma@f,400010" 0 "ledma"
"/obio/serial@0,100000" 0 "zs"
"/SUNW,sx@f,80000000" 0 "SUNW,sx"
FILES
/etc/path_to_inst
SEE ALSO add_drv(1M), boot(1M), drvconfig(1M), mknod(1M)WARNINGS
If the file is removed the system may not be bootable (as it may rely on information found in this file to find the root, usr or swap
device). If it does successfully boot, it will regenerate the file, but after rebooting devices may end up having different minor numbers
than they did before, and special files created via mknod(1M) may refer to different devices than expected.
For the same reasons, changes should not be made to this file without careful consideration.
