If you're lucky, you might find an Opensolaris or OpenIndiana driver from your mfgr. Otherwise ... you'll need to add or change the hard drive controller. I don't know what chipset the Gigabyte B75M-D3H uses, but in some cases, some product doesn't have a driver but it's compatible with a driver for some other product from some other mfgr. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I don't think so. Because the first one obviously says USB, and the second one, upon google, appears to be PCMCIA. You're looking for a SATA controller, I presume. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] Help installing OI 151a on IBM x366.
I am trying to install OI 151a on an IBM x366. This machine has the Serveraid 8i SAS backplane, with a legacy IDE DVD rom drive. The machine will boot the DVD, but then gives a stream of errors on pci@0,0/pci-ide@f/edi@0 time reset bus I've read about problems with IDE, that offered adding options to the command line that boots the kernel: -B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0,atapi-other-dma-enabled=0 That didn't work. I also saw something about disabling multiprocessing with the -kd option, then entering use_mp/W 0 :c . That didn't work either. I tried booting from a USB dvd drive. Again, that boots, but after it loads the kernel from the DVD, I get an error that the drive disappeared. I tried making a bootable USB stick, but the x366 won't both from the USB for some reason. Are there any other suggestions I can try ? -Chris == Chris Candreva -- ch...@westnet.com -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
