Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Re : sata hot plug problem (ahci?) + openindiana crash

A quick glance at the motherboard manual for what you have indicates the probability that your on-board SATA ports aren't using AHCI. Likely some compatibility mode meant for those poor souls that may have needed Win9x when that BIOS was basically coded.
