Any thoughts?
I have s2892 and Sun Ultra40, which have ck804 too. Linux can only detect one hard drive per SATA controller. The second drive is either undetected or times out. On s2892, some HD types, presumably all SATA-II, (Hitachi HDS7280SA for instance), are detected at boot time, but miserably fail later, with lots of log messages from the kernel driver. I compared the PCI configuration registers (other than BARs, MSI, etc.) left by LinuxBIOS and the factory BIOS: they were different.
It is possible that the changed BIOS settings are a bug fix we don't know about. Can we get a list of differences?
