> sata1/1 is the si card and is the one that the dvd is plugged into. Yep.
Would it help if you use cfgadm -c disconnect sata1/1, followed by cfgadm -c connect sata1/1 and cfgadm -c configure sata1/1 ? Are there any error messages logged to /var/adm/messages when you use the above commands? Maybe the bios does some sort of sata port initialization when booting from the sata dvd writer, that allows solaris to "see" the drive. And when you boot from hdd, that sata optical device initialization isn't done, and the silicon image driver has problems to identify the device? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
