Out of interest, I tried running the script. This is what I got:-
WARNING:
The script detected that both "ipge" and "e1000g" interfaces
exist in the system. The script can not handle this situation, as
there are potential conflicts between existing "ipge" and "e1000g"
instances. You will need to manually resolve device instance numbers
and configure your system configuration files.

I ended up doing the install from the CD/DVD without setting up any networking. That way, it didn't try to force the e1000g. After booting, I plumbed the ipge and did all the setup and it works just fine. I filed an SR with Oracle, and they were no help at all in getting it to run on the e1000g, and since it was working fine with the ipge, I closed the case and got on with life.
Yeh. Wondering if it might be an idea. So you've experienced no problems?

UPDATE
Think I've cracked it. This is what I did:-
cp /etc/path_to_inst /etc/old.path_to_inst
rm /etc/path_to_inst
init 0
ok> boot -ar
(accept defaults and let it rebuild /etc/path_to_inst)
init s
cd /usr/sbin
./e1000g_transition -e
init 6
And it works with e1000g now....
Many thanks to hergp for the info about this script....
