Are there any supported PCI 3rd party SATA or IDE controllers for an Ultra60 running opensolaris. I have tried consulting the hcl list, but maybe I don't understand how to find out this obvious information.
I am hoping a one word answer to this question will come from this list:
"yes, there are supported pci controllers"
or
"no, please stop wasting time on this"!!!
Or, hopefully there is an obvious tool of which I am ignorant.
I have inserted one promise IDE controller into PCI slot 2 of the
ultra60, and one Sil SATA controller into PCI slot 1 (66), plus a usb
controller in pci3. There are also two SCA SCSI drives in the main drive
bays.
Under the exact same hardware, freebsd 6.2 can detect and use the
additional drives. freebsd's pciconf identifies the respective
contollers as [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0: class=0x010400 card=0x65121095
chip=0x35121095 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)'
device = 'Sil 3512 SATALink/SATARaid Controller'
class = mass storage
subclass = RAID
and [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0: class=0x018000 card=0x4d33105a
chip=0x4d38105a rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Promise Technology Inc'
device = 'PDC20262 FastTrak66 EIDE Controller'
class = mass storage
and the devices appear in the dmesg as
ad0: 117246MB <Maxtor 6Y120P0 YAR41BW0> at ata2-master UDMA66
ad1: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JD-00GBB0 02.05D02> at ata4-master SATA150
Not so with opensolaris. Here is a dmesg of the boot under opensolaris:

I also tried "boot -r" (and even probe-scsi), I won't try any forth-fu
unless there is a chance my generic sata controller will work
probe-scsi at OBP did not detect anything.
There are no device nodes created under /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk
(although teasingly, there is a 3rd disk, I assume it was a relic of
when this machine had a cdrom drive in it, but a prtvtoc on it
yields the following (shown first is a prtvtoc for my second scsi
drive):

And of course, format only finds two disks:
