Changed disk controller -> drops into GRUB?!
I changed disk controller. Unplugged every disk, inserted another controller card, an IBM M1015. The disks are recognized in BIOS, and the controller card's BIOS shows up. But after that, I drop into GRUB and a prompt. That is all.
How shall I solve this problem? I am thinking of booting from Solaris 11 Express USB (have no CD reader) and do an import and export. Other than, I am lost. What should I do? Help?

It seems this is a well known problem with Gigabyte motherboards and IBM M1015. No solution. Just change mobo.

Here is my problem:
I have an 1.5TB disk with OpenSolaris (b134, b151a) using non AHCI. I then changed to AHCI in BIOS, which results in severe problems: I can not boot the system.
I suspect the problem is because I changed to AHCI. Now I have changed back to non AHCI, but still I can not... (0 Replies)

rsm_release_controller
rsm_get_controller(3RSM) Remote Shared Memory Library Functions rsm_get_controller(3RSM)
NAME
rsm_get_controller, rsm_get_controller_attr, rsm_release_controller - get or release a controller handle
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrsm [ library... ]
#include <rsmapi.h>
int rsm_get_controller(char *name, rsmapi_controller_handle_t *controller);
int rsm_get_controller_attr(rsmapi_controller_handle_t chdl, rsmapi_controller_attr_t *attr);
int rsm_release_controller(rsmapi_controller_handle_t chdl);
DESCRIPTION
The controller functions provide mechanisms for obtaining access to a controller, determining the characteristics of the controller, and
releasing the controller.
The rsm_get_controller() function acquires a controller handle through the controller argument. The name argument is the specific con-
troller instance (for example, "sci0" or "loopback"). This controller handle is used for subsequent RSMAPI calls.
The rsm_get_controller_attr() function obtains a controller's attributes through the attr argument. The chdl argument is the controller
handle obtained by the rsm_get_controller() call. The attribute structure is defined in the <rsmapi> header.
The rsm_release_controller() function releases the resources associated with the controller identified by the controller handle chdl,
obtained by calling rsm_get_controller(). Each rsm_release_controller() call must have a corresponding rsm_get_controller() call. It is
illegal to access a controller or segments exported or imported using a released controller.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error value is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The rsm_get_controller(), rsm_get_controller_attr(), and rsm_release_controller() functions can return the following errors:
RSMERR_BAD_CTLR_HNDL Invalid controller handle.
The rsm_get_controller() and rsm_get_controller_attr() functions can return the following errors:
RSMERR_BAD_ADDR Bad address.
The rsm_get_controller() function can return the following errors:
RSMERR_CTLR_NOT_PRESENT Controller not present.
RSMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEM Insufficient memory.
RSMERR_BAD_LIBRARY_VERSION Invalid library version.
