Just chipping in with my 2c, it might not be a great help though. First of all, it sounds to me like this might be a hardware fault. That motherboard and controller combination are listed on Sun's HCL so should work fine: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/8454.html The first

Tim, the system is a Silicon Mechanics A266; the motherboard is a SuperMicro H8DM8E-2 I tried pluging the Marvell card in both 133MHz PCI-X slots. In one I get a lockup during install, in the other I get a reset on first boot. Tim wrote: On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 2:47 PM, Christophe Dupre

Hi all, based on comments on this list, I bought a new server with 8 SATA bays and an AOC-SAT2-MV8 SATA controller. I them fired up a jumpstart of Solaris 10 5/08 of the server. Install runs through perfectly, with a SVM mirror of / and swap on the first two disks. But during the first boot, I
