Installtion problem with Solaris 10

Panagiotis_IOA · 08-10-2006, 07:22 AM

Hi there! I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on my desktop but I get the following error after a few steps:

Quote:

No disks found.

Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up.

Press OK to Exit.

And then I press ok and appears a console window.

I have a Maxtor SATA HD 80GB and I think that this is the problem, that the installation can't find the SATA drive. If anybody has any idea or solution please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

SATA drives are supported, but your mainboard may be not.
The best thing I can suggest to you is to try the latest Solaris Express release.

[edit]
You may also try to change the BIOS to make the SATA controller work in legacy/compatible mode, if such a choice exists.
