Hi,

I have successfully installed [b]OpenSolaris 2008.05[/b] on my machine which 
[b]runs an Intel Celereon 420 (single core) processor[/b].

On something like 9 out of 10 boots, the [b]system hangs with ATA timeouts[/b] 
and finally[b] Vendor 'Gen-ATA ' error code: 0x3[/b] .

All the information I found on this in the forums / google is directed at 
multi-processor setups, and (as my Celeron is a single core cpu) is not 
applicable for me.


Do you have clues as to what else I could try? I am a Linux/Solaris newbie, but 
will dig into documentation if just give me the right keywords / URLs.

Otherwise my next step would be to update my system to the current development 
build, but I would rather find the problem and solve it opposed to just install 
a big update and hope it works (that's what I already have with Windows).

Best regards,
-bastian


PS: things I already tried without success (most of the apply to the MP setup, 
but I gave them a shot nevertheless):
- removed /platform/i86pc/ucode folder
- booted with -B $ZFS=BOOTFS,ata-dma-enabled=0
- booted with -db, and disabled any further CPU (except for the one one I have 
:-P )
   use_mp/W0
- botted with -B ...,disable-cpudrv=true
