That is, you do get warnings like this?

  "WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ata1): 
timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0"

Or what kind of warnings to you get?




Btw, just yesterday I found out that passing configuration
settings to the kernel using "-B property=value" got broken,
if an eeprom setting for the same property exists in the
/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file.

With snv_60, the /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file contains
atapi-cd-dma-enabled=1, and if you try to start the kernel
with "-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0", ATAPI CD DMA is enabled
anyway - the command line option is ignored !


It got broken since "direct boot" got integrated (somewhere <= snv_60).

And it seems it was fixed 23-Apr-2007 (snv_64), with the putback for:

    6520287 Serial console redirection ignores ttyX-mode with direct boot

(this is apparently about the "ttya-mode" / "ttyb-mode" property, but
should be exactly the same problem)
