Hi,

Any details about the nv_sata errors you saw? The "spontaneous reboots"
looks like the system panicked on boot so it reboots. Can you boot with
debugger (appending -kv to the kernel$ line at Grub menu)?

BTW, if you want to change the boot drive, you need to reinstall
Solaris to the new drive first in order to get the correct bootpath ...

Regards,
Kerry

I'm a bit disappointed. I changed an older ata boot drive into a
bootable sata2 drive. Alas, I get nv_sata driver errors and spontanious
reboots.

Weird thing is that if I boot off the (old) ata drive all sata2 drives
are seen and accessible. No zfs errors, no nothing. All's fine then.

But if I want to boot off a sata2 drive I get these errors.
If this can't be solved (it may be an error in nv_sata) I have to buy a
SATA2 pcie card. Any advise on good working models for OpenSolaris (and
not too expensive) ?
