Loading grub, the Solaris kernel and the x86.microroot from the SATA CD is done by the system's BIOS and doesn't need Solaris device driver support. So, booting the LiveCD from a SATA CD connected to the Silicon Image 3132 SATA controller might work just fine with the help of BIOS, but installing from the SATA CD should not work if the si3124 driver doesn't support SATA/ATAPI ... The way I understand the initial message in this thread was that Mike did install from the SATA CD - but maybe that is wrong (and the media was moved from the SATA CD to the PATA CD) ... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
