[OpenIndiana-discuss] When will AMD XIII CPUs be supported

[Volker A. Brandt]

Hi Chris!


Hang in there!  I'm sure we'll get it to work eventually.

I don't think it's a matter of lacking "better SATA support".  Several
Sun servers had the nv_sata chip on board (we have an X2200M2 here), and
Solaris and thus illumos-based systems have supported that for a long
time.  It must be some interaction between the installer and your
system.

Do test an OmniOS USB installer, just to see if it can find the disks.
