as far as common hardware, there is none. I have tried this on 3 completely different systems.
placing my linux HDD into my primary desktop = successful boot and operation. When i re-installed onto the SCSI disk (on my main desktop, the one that originally started having issues) I had already removed the original IDE HDD. I had used originally the free DVD that Sun had sent me, marked 10/07 (b75 i believe). I cannot download this copy apparently, so i downloaded b70 and installed (to make sure i did not have a problem with my install media). i will try the zpool step and post my results.
