Having some trouble getting an opensolaris install working on the
following system:
https://www.acmemicro.com/estore/merchant.ihtml?pid=1569&step=4
The motherboard is H8DME-2, a nVidia MCP55 based board, and we have two
AMD Opteron 2427 (6-core) processors installed with 48G of memory. The
motherboard is at the latest bios (R 3.5) and details are:
http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron2000/MCP55/h8dme-2.cfm
Have tried OpenSolaris 2009.10, OpenSolaris-b125 usb/dvd, as well as
automated install on this system and all have some issue with
recognizing the harddrives. The AI install says this:
<AI Jun 2 18:40:21> /tmp/ai_combined_manifest.xml is a valid manifest
<AI Jun 2 18:40:21> Auto reboot disabled
<OM Jun 2 18:46:14> System reports enough physical memory for

<AI Jun 3 01:47:35> om_perform_install failed with error 208
<AI Jun 3 01:47:35> Auto install failed
Other versions/install methods all report problems accessing the disks.
Anyone have ideas of what the problem could be, or where we can start
digging deeper to get the system going?

Hi Paul,
Cross-posting with the install-discuss.
Have you tried running the Sun Device Detection Tool?
