Pulled the PCI NIC and everything works as it should. Strange.......... Now if I only knew how to reset the bios config without having to add new hardware if it does this again.........

So just for fun, I had some old PCI Intel based 10/100 NICs lying around from when I built my router and I popped one of those into the box. Magically, when it rebooted, not only doest he 10/100 NIC work, but both gigabit NICs on the motherboard now do too! Anyone got a possible explanation...

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with my OI build 148 file server. Last night during a storm we had a short power loss. When power came back on, box rebooted, but now OI cannot find any NICs. When looking in the network connections stuff it has not a single adapter available. Doing a...

Update: So I got the drivers to install and the drives themselves able to be seen in OI 148. I followed This guide (post #60) and installed the older 3.03 version of the drivers instead of the newer 4.26. I have no idea why this older version doesn't complain about another driver requiring...

The chipset I have is one of the ones known to have issues with reflashing the card to the IT firmware (intel 5000 series). Since I know there is a pretty good chance of it being unable to be flashed, I would just rather get the driver working if possible.

I sort of followed it. I already had OI installed, so I didn't have to try to SSH in or anything like that. I did however, try that procedure when I booted off the Solaris Express 11 disk (I figured if it worked I would just overwrite my OI install), but still got the same error. -Adrian

Nope, says unknown controller. I'm not sure how/if I can force the SUNWmegasas to apply to the card, but it doesn't seem to automatically

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install the LSI drivers from the LSI website (the 9240-8i drivers). When I do pkgadd, it says to remove existing drivers. OK, it has SUNWmegasas installed, I do pkgrm SUNWmegasas, returns saying cannot change working directory to /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmegasas/install so...

So I think I want to leave the IBM firmware alone, and I'm trying to install the LSI drivers from the LSI website (the 9240-8i drivers). When I do pkgadd, it says to remove existing drivers. OK, it has SUNWmegasas installed, I do pkgrm SUNWmegasas, returns saying cannot change working...

It doesn't seem to work fine out of the box though on my system. When I boot into IO (build 247) it just comes up with unknown driver error. I haven't tried loading the drivers from LSI yet (I don't even have OI installed on a disk yet though). The whole thing is kind of confusing to me. I...

Hi Everyone, I recently procured an IBM M1015 for my OI/ZFS fileserver. I have read the flashing procedure (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg124393#msg124393) and think I understand it, however I have also seen numerous people say that it fails to flash because the LSI...

Forgive my ignorance, but I really don't know which firmware that consists of. I see tons of IT_firmware on the LSi site, but none seem to correspond to the 2008 SAS. Is there a different number I should be looking for? Also, I haven't flashed BIOS/firmware since the days of MSDOS and floppy...

I don't see the 2008 drivers on the LSI website. Are they on there with a different name or are they the same as the 1068?

Hi everyone, I'm struggling with the last few steps to get my file server together. I need an add-on PCIe SATA card to connect more drives. I purchased a card based on a Jmicron 363 chipset because I've read that they are compatible and the JMicro site says they are compatible with Solaris...

Hi Everyone, I've hit a snag trying to get my file server up and running. I purchased an add-on PCI-E SATA card based on a JMicro 363 chipset because the solaris website along with some other articles stated it was compatible with the regular AHCI driver found in OSol and OI. I've got the...
