Hi,

I try to install Solaris on a new machine. This machine contains an IDE 
controller with some Host-RAID controller - besides that you normally can still 
access the controller as a plain old IDE controller.

But the BIOS has been set to enable RAID functionality (I am not able to change 
the BIOS settings). So the IDE controller identifies itself as

PCI class 01-04-00 (Mass storage RAID controller)
instead of
PCI class 01-01-00 (Mass storage IDE controller)

Excerpt from "pciconf -v":

            pci1166,24a (driver not attached)
                Hardware properties:

Is it possible for the Solaris ide driver to still attach to this device?
