Yes it is a P-ATA drive and it is the only drive on the IDE channel. I installed from a DVD image using this drive for build 70a and it worked fine. I think it would be a big coincidence if what I'm hitting is not the same bug. Thanks for the workaround idea. I might give that a try. Haik This message posted from opensolaris.org
