Installing Solaris 10 on Compaq Proliant 1600 with Smart 2DH PCI controller

807559Jun 18 2005 — edited Mar 28 2006
I'm trying to put Solaris 10 on a fairly old 350 Mhz Compaq Proliant.
Compaq SMART-2DH Array controller Ver C rev 3.08
This is a PCI card
I have tried downloading HP's drivers for the Smart II controller and renaming the DU/ folders to 210 instead of 28, and the installation program will process the drivers

When it continues on to the part where you select the type of installation, it gives these errors:

/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/smartii: undefined symbol 'eisa_nvm'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'msartii'
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed

Then it will continue on to the GUI portion of the install and give the error about not having any available disks to install on to (check cables)

Is there any way to make Solaris 10 load these drivers? I know it doesn't support EISA, but this card is PCI. Not sure why it tries to load EISA drivers for it.

This thing also has SCSI built into the motherboard, does anyone know if Solaris 10 will support that particular controller? No idea what it's called. If it will, I'm just going to plug the hard disk cable in to that and go with it.
