[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi151a7 live DVD Grub problems with Dell Precision T3600

[ken mays]

Udo,

No, separate animals (daughtercard versus chipset). 

1. The Intel C600 is fine for your workstation setup.

2. The Perc H310 can use the driver from LSI or mr_sas enhanced from Nexenta (Dan M.).


I figured you had an older BIOS version, so great!

Otherwise, you should be in good shape...

Enjoy!,

Problem SOLVED ! With an update to A07 Bios, the error disappeared.

Problems left:

The Perc H310 (half-height) is not usable, we tried non-RAID with
HBA Bios on/off, Disk convert-nonraid, no way. sas2flash does not
see it, so no way to convert to IT mode, though we see a pci1000,73
with prtconf. Finally just connected to onboard sata-port 1, and
disk was visible. Will sell the damned card on Ebay.....

The C600/X79 chipset has no driver, but Openindiana runs, with
no visible omission, USB, disk, DVD, graphics is all online.
Don't know what this chip is really doing on that board, maybe
the H310 problem has to do with it ?
