Solaris x86 11.3 'live' DVD, network issue

Hi All,

Has anyone else come across a network interface issue after installing Solaris x86 11.3 from the 'live' DVD?

I have had issues myself and also found others have similar issues.

On my systems, installing Solaris 11.3 works fine but after rebooting (from the hard disk root filesystem) and starting the Xserver, the network interface (usually Net0) switches to NoNet and doesn't work. Whether it works properly (Net0) or not (NoNet) seems to be completely random. Completely deleting the interface and re-creating it doesn't help.

I had no such issues with the 11.1 DVD and, indeed, installing 11.1 from the 'live' DVD and then doing a web update to 11.3, the problem does not manifest itself. This implies to me that there is something different (wrong) about the 11.3 distribution.

I'm posting this to enquire whether anyone else has experienced this. I guess I'm really aiming at the Solaris experts on this forum especially the one's that are also Oracle employees. You know who you are.

TIA
