I have one of these:
http://www.lindy.co.uk/2-port-esata-adapter-cardbus/70996.html
which works well under Windows Vista on my Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t and is
accessible from Linux when booted from a Knoppix 5.1 live DVD.
On Windows Vista the device manager identifies the controller as
"Silicon Image Sil 3512 SATALink Controller" with the following
details under the driver tab:
Driver Provider: Silicon Image
Driver Date: 19/08/2008
Driver Version: 1.3.71.1
Earlier attempts to use it under various versions of SXCE were
unsuccessful. I have now moved to "OpenSolaris Development snv_132
X86" and have decided to give it another try ...
An earlier suggestion was that it might be a problem with the CardBus
driver so I have installed the driver from here to aid diagnosis:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+laptop/cardbus
Here are the relevant bits of prtconf output:
prtconf:
pci8086,2448, instance #0
pci1014,56c, instance #0
pcs, instance #0 (driver not attached)
pci1095,3512 (driver not attached)
prtconf -D:
pci8086,2448, instance #0 (driver name: pci_pci)
pci1014,56c, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
pcs, instance #0 (driver name: pcs)
pci1095,3512
The next thing I tried was:
$ pfexec update_drv -a -i ' "pci1095,3512"' ata
which changed the "prtconf -D" line to the following:
pci1095,3512 (driver name: ata)
but "prtconf" still reports "(driver not attached)".
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks
