My motherboard has a 3112 chip builtin and have come across the same problem - 
i.e. Solaris won't work with drives connected to it.

The only way this chip will work in Solaris is if you can get it to work in IDE 
legacy mode (short of writing your own driver, or adapting the driver for the 
3124/3132). I did a search on the Silicon Image website and it says that the 
chip is "register compatible with legacy IDE" - I don't know if this is the 
same as supporting legacy IDE mode though. The fact that the card is reporting 
itself as a member of the wrong device class is a show-stopper though, unless 
you fancy compiling your own OpenSolaris kernel. That would be my reading of it 
anyway.

Cheers

Andrew.
