Bug ID Description
If you have difficulty installing Oracle Solaris because of this issue before you apply the workaround
above, you can free up MSIs by excluding the driver for the card that is most numerous in the
system.
For example, the following procedure excludes the 10 Gigabit Ethernet card driver:
1. At the GRUB prompt, enter
2. Scroll down to
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
3. Enter
again, and append:
e
ixgbe-disable=true
The resulting line should be similar to the following:
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,ixgbe-disable=true
1. Press Enter.
2. Enter
to boot the system.
