Problem detecting: add-on Maxtor IDE card on Solaris 10.

807559Apr 3 2006

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install Solaris 10 -01/06- in a P3-700Mhz system.
The motherboard is kind of old, it doesn't recognize my 20GB primary HD.
So, I put a Maxtor IDE disk E-IDE controller card. It uses Promise Technology chip, full model name - Ultra 100 Tx2, chip model-PDC20268.
The card is good, and it detects 20GB driver in bios.

However, Solaris 10 doesn't seem to detect it. It keeps telling me "no disk found". so took me back to concole/dos screen.

I read on some there post, saying there is jumper for the Maxtor RAID disk controller. I have to adjust it order to make detection to work. However, it is not a RAID card, just a normal IDE expansion card.

I would like to ask for your help to see if Solaris 10 support thise type of add-on card.

Thanks
