snv_104 md55 nvsata
Dear Forum
At first a big Thank You to SUN for the huge amount of work in building the
best OS on Planet.
I'm having some problems with the "new" nv_sata driver.
After using live upgrade to upgrade from snv_70b to snv_79 my dvd drive
disappeared. I ignored that and upgraded again to snv_104. Now only two
of my 3 sata disks are visible and no sata dvd.
Is there any possibility to get the things to work?
Thank you

The funny thing is that I'm able to boot from disk at sata2/0 (snv_98)
but then the two disks at sata1 are not usable (And also no dvd).
sata0 is my dvd recorder.
Thank you for your help (I would like to go back to snv_70 but
unfortunately I upgraded the zfs filesystem on the scsi-disks. Going
back would mean to make backup, recreate this zfs and restore... And to
recreate the email stuff because thunderbird has updated the calendar
things and I don't know how to downgrade...)
In the meanwhile I checked the forums but could not find any help or
workaround - therefore I'm annoying you with this. I also checked the
file nv_sata.c but the last time I coded in c is 10 years ago and I have
never written a device driver (I'm a fortran and java coder - fortran
for numerics and java for gui)
