We also got IB working on the second tyam motherboard 3992E After having dowloaded the correct bios update from the tyan site, the bios upgrade was succesfull (old bios version V1.02.B10 , new: V1.03 release date 05/02/2008).
But first solaris coul'd boot anymore. it was hanging during configuring /dev When we removed the ib card boot was succesfull. Then finaly we found some fixes: In case Solaris Express installation fails or hangs on your PCI Express system, then discard the previous suggested workaround per x64_solaris_installation_could_fail. Solaris Express Build 53 introduces a new module for x64 PCI Express Error handling called - pcie(7d). This is same as on the SPARC based machines. The workaround is now: Step 1: Boot with \-kd option Do break into the GRUB menu editor and append "-kd" to the line that begins with "kernel ..." When Solaris boots, it will pause at the kernel debugger prompt. Step 2: Set a kernel breakpoint for the symbol "attach_drivers" thus: [0]> ::bp \-d \-n 1 attach_drivers [0]> :c Step 3: Disable PCI Express Error Handling thus: [0]> pcie`pcie_error_disable_flag/W 1 [0]> :c Step 4: To make this setting permanent, append to /etc/system set pcie:pcie_errror_disable_flag = 1 And: Sun Bug ID 6430161 Inhibit the tavor driver from attempting to use IOMMU "bypass mode"; in /etc/system file add: set tavor:tavor_iommu_bypass=0 This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
