Your picture shows that it's using the nv_sata driver for the disk
controller, not the ahci driver. Are you able to configure the disk
controllers into AHCI mode? Doing that might fix your problem. Most
systems use the ahci driver now. Here's how mine looks in OI:
<mills@qtpie:1324>$ prtconf -D
...
pci1b21,1062, instance #0 (driver name: ahci)
disk, instance #2 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #5 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #3 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #4 (driver name: sd)
As you can see, it uses two drivers, one for the controller and one
for the disks. Here's how my disks look in OI:
<root@qtpie># format
