I now have a improved sata and marvell88sx driver modules that deal with various error conditions in a much more solid way. Changes include reducing the number of required device resets, properly reporting media errors (rather than "no additional sense"), clearing aborted packets more rapidly so that after an hardware error progress is again made much more quickly. Further the driver is much quieter (far fewer messages in /var/adm/messages).
If there is still interest, I can make those binaries available for testing prior to their availability in Solaris Nevada (OpenSolaris). These changes will be checked in soon, but the process always inserts a significant delay, so if anyone would like, please e-mail me and I will make those binaries available via e-mail.
