Dan is right... we figured it out last night. I had used the snv_16 express build to get my PC up and running. downloaded the source and closed bins and ran the compile (and it DID run... 6.5 hours.. 600Mhz CPU...) I used Install to create the tarball and then laid it down into /platform/i86pc/kernel.tarkus
At Dan's direction, we used the debugger to see that pci-ata was the last module load line before the panic. I compared the dir trees /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv and /platform/i86pc/kernel.tarkus/drv and saw that ata and ata.conf were not in my kernel dirs. copied them over and rebooted.... and it came up OK. I believe what Dan was trying to tell me later, was that there still may be some missing (closed) drivers. I did a quick compare of the drv dirs and it looked complete... but I'll have to go back and do a more through job. Thanks for all the late night help!! -- Raymond Scott This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
