Nope, as far as I understand it, it was planned to put back a fix into build 74, but that didn't happen. So I expect that build 74 - when if becomes available for download - fails in the same way. The ata driver source code in the current opensolaris mercurial source code repository is unchanged since build 72. See: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/intel/io/dktp/controller/ata/ AFAIK, the change that is responsible for the bug is this change at line 1422 commented with "0x0, 0x7f, or 0xff can happen when no drive is present" in function ata_drive_type() in file ata_common.c: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/diff/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/intel/io/dktp/controller/ata/ata_common.c?r2=4852&r1=3652 > I wish I knew about the bug earlier.

Is that a P-ATA optical drive? Is it the only drive connected to the P-ATA IDE channel? If this really is the same problem that I observed recently with the ata driver, try connecting the optical device as a slave device together with a ATA HDD master device on the same IDE channel; this might work around the problem.
