Hmm, that is, you removed the intel cpu microcode update files? > The bug seem to be closed because of not being > reproducible, but I'm affected by it.

Just a wild guess: Maybe these ata timeouts have the same root cause as bug 6657646, "diskless mp system hangs during mp_startup(), with device interrupts masked". Are you using a multi processor or multi core cpu system? The user who reported a similar ata timeout bug for nexanta seems to be using an intel dual core cpu... ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/nexenta/+bug/192823 )... In case you do use a multiprocessor or multi core cpu system: Can you try the workaround from 6657646 on your system? 1. boot an opensolaris system that is affected by these ata timeout problems 2. edit the grub boot command and append options " -kdv" at the end of the "kernel$ .../$ISADIR/unix" line, and boot the kernel 3. at the kmdb [0]> prompt, use these commands: use_mp/W 0 :c This message posted from opensolaris.org
