[OpenIndiana-discuss] Z400 AHCI Was: Hipster 2020.10 text installer ISO Wow!!!!

[Reginald Beardsley]

 I finally got it to work. For some reason the USB stick would not boot. It had 2019.04 on it and I had used it to install on a friend's system (Dell IIRC). I copied 2020.10 to it with same result.

But Peter's comment made me try a USB optical drive and that did work using the GUI install disk. The device number does change when you switch between IDE and RAID+AHCI. Also the SATA-RAID option ROM download *must* be enabled to see the disk drives.

For all the effort I got a 27% increase in transfer rate: 64.7 vs 82.4 MB/s.

  I followed Gary's instructions, but after many hours of trying different things I don't think it works except for a few system boards.

Without more of the OS loaded I can't determine if the device changes when you set RAID+AHCI or not.

Gary Mills helped shepherd the addition of the HP controller's PCI ID
into illumos so as to allow ahci(7D) to attach.

Hopefully it will just work in the next release of OI installation media.
