It would be interesting to know if OpenSolaris snv_72 Build 72 or newer might have fixed this problem. snv_72 contains a couple of ata driver fixes, and one of them fixed a similar issue for me, when using a Promise IDE controller. It seems that for the Promise controller, implementing a 400 nsec wait my doing some IDE controller alternate status reads did break the driver and resulted in the above timeout messages; switching to a time based 400 nsec wait avoid that kind of problem: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/diff/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/intel/io/dktp/controller/ata/ata_common.h?r2=4852&r1=3652 This message posted from opensolaris.org
