Are there any ata driver timeout error messages appearing on the console? Maybe this is one of the atapi optical devices that has problems with DMA ? Does it work better, if you start the kernel with option "-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0" (see bug 6227829) Bug ID 6544575 Synopsis CD/DVD drives experiencing continued (ultimately fatal) timeouts/resets http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6544575 Bug ID 6227829 Synopsis some optical drives do not behave well with DMA enabled on systems with CSB5 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6227829 This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
