why dont driver developers add Sil3112 Sata Driver to HCL

807559Jan 31 2007
Hi all. I must apologize to my monkeys Englısh.
I want to install Solaris 10 until this day. but everytime I had dump No harddisk found. I used Device detection toll, and others.
My sistem.
Asus AN7n8x e deluxe motherboar with NForce2 ultra 400 chipset and Serial ATA controller based on the Silicon Image Sil3112ACT144 chip supporting 2 devices; , I know everybody dont like it.
Amd Althon Xp 3000+
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 Gb Hdd which only have serial ata interface.
Wait a second this article forward me to search this driver all week.
http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/4.html#4.23

(4.23) Is Serial ATA (SATA) supported for Solaris x86?

Yes. The following chipsets are supported: ICH (ICH5, ICH5R, ICH6, ICH6R), SiliconImage (Sil 3112, 3114, 3512), and nVIDIA (nForce4). Personally, I have a MCS Athlon 64 motherboard with a nForce4 chipset and it works fine. RAID support, if any, is handled by a Solaris driver (such as Solaris Volume Manager).


I have only three Sata driver, Win series, Rehhat, and Suse. I hear OpenBSD support All Sata driver and it can works with it. Can I use this driver for Solaris?
Im a student and I must install this Os to my pc. If I must buy a new hdd, I have to save pocket money 2 mount.
Please Help Me.....
yours respectfully..
