That zpool status shows that your pool experience checksum errors. It
MIGHT be that your SD card is bad, or your system is incompatible to
use SD as boot device.


I don't think so much SD is not useful as boot device.and I will have to try 101b
that I used with SDHC.it can boot and worked good.

My experince trying to get SD as boot device on multiple OS has been
unsucsessfull due to a lot of factors :
- on my current Acer Aspire One, SD controller is PCI. It has high
throughput, but not BIOS-bootable. Ouch.
- on my earlier eepc 2G, SD controller is connected via USB (is it the
same thing with your 901?). It's bootable, but throughput is dead slow
(compared to the same card attached to my Aspire One). This means
Windows is no-no because performance is simply not acceptable.
- using Linux with squashfs on eepc SD increased the performance
somewhat to an acceptable level (due to I/O need reduced). I had to
gave up on that as well though, because after several hours the SD
card overheated, and Linux shows lots of disk errors that it remounts
the filesystem read-only.


Yeah I know its problems you indicate.the read/write IOs SDHC has deadly slow(6MB/s?)
and SDHC has overheat problems(it cant write/read when overheated)
And more it doesnt has good qualities,that is some is succeeded in installation other is not. So I strongly recommend not to use SDHC as boot device for OpenSolaris... (I try this because many Eee Users use SDHC as boot device for OpenSolaris)


The same condition (overheat) MIGHT be what's causing zfs checksum
errors on your setup. If that is the case, then your SD is not
suitable as boot device for any OS.


hmm...I don't think so.I met the same problems when installing Nevada - its installer always stopped the way to proceeding and SDHC overheated,but I succeeded in Ubuntu installation using the same SDHC..

Thanks advice,
