The "ata" module is loaded into memory, but this doesn't tell us if it is in use. In case it isn't used, the module can be modunload'ed. Check the output of "prtconf -D"; if there are device nodes with "ata" as driver name, then p-ata devices are in use... > installed chipset (intel 82801H) is reported to be working. > > How can I have my second disk discovered? devfsadm > didn't help, neither did touch /reconfigre; init 6 Is the S-ATA controller configured for AHCI mode in the system's BIOS? (Note that changing the controller mode between P-ATA / compatibility mode and AHCI mode will result in an unbootable OpenSolaris. Fix is to boot from the LiveCD, and run "zpool import -f rpool" followed by reboot from the HDD) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
