Okay, so your ACHI hardware is not using an ACHI driver in solaris. A crash when pulling a cable is still not great, but it is understandable because that driver is old and bad and doesn't support hot swapping at all.
So there are two things to do here. File a bug about how pulling a sata cable crashes solaris when the device is using the old ide driver. And file another bug about how solaris recognizes your ACHI SATA hardware as old ide hardware. The two bonus things to do are: come to the forum and bitch about the bugs to give them some attention, and come to the forum asking for help on making solaris recognize your ACHI SATA hardware properly :) Good luck... > Gotcha.
