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.

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 get the Solaris 10 kernel banner then the server resets.
If I take out the Marvell card, connect the boot disks to the NVidia
MCP55 motherboard SATA controller, the server intalls fine and
completes
its first reboot.
I realise my issue has nothing to do with ZFS, but I'm posting here
since I heard of the controller here and I'm pretty sure some on this
list are using it.
My boss is starting to think that going for a RAID card would have
been
better, as the server would already be up and running and in
production,
so I'm willing to listen to any advice.
Thanks,
Christophe Dupre

I've got several systems running the same setup. It's definitely not
the card. What motherboard are you running? What sort of PCI slot is
it installed in? Sounds to me like a pci resource issue.
