Hi,

I could need some help and advice to get a working boot/root disk.

Technical data:
ASUS M2N32 WS Professional / Phenom 9600 / 8GB
WD Raptor 150GB
Opensolaris NV81
...

This combination didn't work out of the box, but now I'm running a "beta 
BIOS" and things seem to be OK, as long as I don't access the boot disk to 
much, like trying to create a lu or install additional packages, then the 
disk gets "off-line" and unindentified and the system processes that need to 
access the disk hangs.

A fried who have the same MB but with a Athlon X2 processor and is running 
with Opensolaris NV71 have a not the same problem.

When I have been looking for software differences I noticed that on my 
friends machine with nv71 the disk driver is cmdk and on my machine with nv81 
I have nv_sata as the disk driver.

One thing I would like to test but don't know if possible and if so how, is 
to force my nv81 to use the cmdk instaed of nv_sata. Is this doable?

Is there any other thing I could test to narrow down the problem to either a 
software or hardware problem?

If there is a software problem any tips on any w/o that I could test?

br,
/stefan
