HME Driver Question
2007-12-24 20:51:00
We recently had an episode where our root volume began to fill up, and I
removed some extraneous packages (via pkgrm) from the system. I was
able to look at the package descriptions via pkginfo and decide if we
needed them or not. However, I also removed the following:
SUNWhmd SunSwift SBus Adapter Drivers
SUNWhmdu SunSwift SBus Adapter Headers
SUNWhmdx SunSwift SBus Adapter Drivers (64-bit)
The pkgrm utility made some references to removing /kernel/drv/hme and
now I notice the file reconfigure sitting under the root partition. I
know it's going to do some reconfiguring during the reboot (which I
haven't done yet) and I'm afraid I may come up without networking...
since my NIC is listed as hme0.
I removed these packages since the system is PCI and not SBUS (in case
you're wondering why I was so stupid).
Did I do a bad thing here? Is there a way I can check and see if I'll
be OK during the next reboot? Or are these purely SBUS files (like the
description says)? I suppose I could just reinstall the packages now
while I have a chance, but I'd rather not have them on the system if
they're not needed.
Thanks for your help. Will summarize.
