Hi there,

I have a system here at home that I use as a server for storage and private 
development. At work I had the opportunity to try out the Solaris 10 x86 
recently and I now I want it to use at home too. So I downloaded the latest 
OpenSolaris Developer Preview  2 and tried to install it. The Live-System comes 
up fine (as long as I disable UltraDMA in BIOS for the IDE DVD-Drive). But when 
I try to install it it doesn't recognize my LSI 53C1010 Controller nor the 
drives connected to it. As I do not have ATA drives attached to the system I 
cannot install anything.

According to this site http://blogs.sun.com/dp/entry/what_s_new_in_solaris12 
the glm driver should support my 53C1010-66 controller (that is onboard of an 
FSC server board). But it doesn't for me. At work I was told from an admin that 
I would need the symhisl driver for such a controller but it isn't available on 
the Live-CD.

So where do I get the driver and how do I add it for installation and the final 
system?

P.S.: I've done a research of the devices using the SMBIOS tool and it reports 
my controller as an LSI 53C1000R, but I surely don't have RAID capabilities on 
that controller and it really is a 53C1010. Could that be a reason why the glm 
driver fails to work although according to the sun blog entry it should do that?

Thanks in advance for any little help on this,

    Ancoron
