[SunHELP] Re: CompactFlash as IDE on sparc

[Brad Mitchell]

Hi there,

I have looked through the archives, in particular to an issue back in April 2001 
regarding using CompactFlash I as an IDE device on solaris.

The issue was failure to boot with an existing IDE device attached (HDD).  In my 
case, I was trying to jumpstart a sparc box onto an ide drive and the flash was 
in the chain.  In this case, no ide devices were detected to install Solaris 
onto.  And the error:

pcipsy0: ino c invalid 

prints out several times.

In a probe-ide, the devices show up.  In fact, the SAN DISK shows up as being 
removable, could this be the cause that Solaris is failing to detect the disk 
and stuffs everything up ?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad
