I'm trying to install Nexenta OS Alpha 6 (OpenSolaris build 50). I'm building a file server with some old components, modeled after the build here:
http://blogs.sun.com/PlasticPixel/entry/build_your_own_multi_terabyte I'm using: Soyo Dragon SY-P4-645DX Dragon Ulta Motherboard based on the SiS 645DX chip set. http://www.soyo.com/dl/manuals/p4/mp4sx210.pdf Intel Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz 512 RAM 3 Syba SD-SATA-4P PCI SATA Controller Cards (based on the Silicon Image 3114) with the latest Silicon Image IDE (non-RAID) bios 5.3.14 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124020 The install CD boot hangs while configuring devices if I have the SATA controllers with all drives connected. If I remove all the Syba cards I get to the Installer Welcome screen. If I leave in only 1 Syba SATA controller with no drives attached I get to the Installer Welcome screen. If I attach 1 drive to the Syba SATA controller I get to the Installer Welcome screen. If I attach two drives to the Syba SATA controller I get the same as if I have all the cards in. Here is where it hangs: ATAPI device at targ 0, lun 0 lastlun 0x0 model DV-rW IDE1008 PDI-device: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ata1 ata1 is /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5/[EMAIL PROTECTED] IDE device at targ 0, lun 0 lastlun 0x0 model ST3400620AS ATA/ATAPI-7 supported, majver 0xfe, minver 0x0 IDE device at targ 1, lun 0 last lun 0x0 model ST3400620AS ATA/ATAPI-7 supported, majver 0xfe, minver 0x0 It seems obvious that the SATA controller is the problem, not sure how to get around it. Other people claim to be using this same card and other Silicon Image 3114 based cards. Thanks in advance for your help.
