Hello,
This WE I tried to install Solaris 11 Nevada, beta 70 on a ASUS P5VD1-X based
PC with a 320GB IDE HD.
It did not went long, Solaris was unable to handle the HD... After some
thinking and some check on the net, I suppose it has to do with the 48bits
LBA issue (The 128 GB barrier). Back in the Solaris 6, 7, 8 days I had
similar issues on a Dell machine with HDs > 8 GB.
So now I wonder if I have problems with the BIOS of my motherboard or with
Solaris. According to the ASUS website, the P5 serie support 48 bits LBA. So,
here is my question: Does OpenSolaris support 48 bits LBA?
Daniel
