Solaris 10 on SuperMicro H8SSL-i ... chipset Q
807559Jun 25 2007 — edited Jun 25 2007Hi --
just for kicks, I was trying to install Solaris 10 (x86 natch) on a SuperMicro H8SSL-i board. It uses the ServerWorks (Broadcom) HT1000 chipset for its SATA interface. But at the initial device detection, I get a failure at the PCI detection, IDE reset, etc.
I thought from this HCL entry that I could get somewhere with it.. http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/2109.html but so far no dice. On my current motherboard there are only two choices for the SATA mode "IDE" and "MMIO" so i don't really have a PATA option.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a chance that somewhere support for this mobo is being done? thanks!
