[OpenIndiana-discuss] E-sata PCIe card problems

[Michelle Knight]

Hi Folks,

Me again.

This time I got a Rocket 600 series controller (622 - PCIe 1x with 2 eSATA 3 
ports) on the Marvel 88SE9128 chipset.

The card does, on boot, recognise any hard drives inserted.

However, all is not rosy.

I've forgotten the command to list the interfaces on board.

My mind is going overtime.  I've eliminated the hard drive, the caddy and the 
cables ... all are fine when attached via the motherboard e-sata but not via 
the Rocket e-sata card.

Any ideas please?

Right now, I'm abandoning the effort and I'm off to bed. I'll try any commands 
people can think of, in the morning.

Many thanks,

Michelle.
