Hi Peter > Do you know what the reprogramming does? IIRC, PCI devices setup is performed in two phases, the first one enumerates the devices and "marks" the one that have not been properly configured by the BIOS. The second phase actually tries to reconfigure these devices. > Do you know what

[osol-help] Boot hangs on HP DL320s on builds later than svn_83

Hi, The HP Proliant DL320s does officially not support Solaris-10. I was however able to install and run OpenSolaris successfully up to svn_83 using a network install server. Later versions (up to the latest available svn_94) however hang quite early during kernel boot: SunOS Release 5.11 Ver
