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 _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
