Description

I am trying to install NCP3 RC3 on a PC with an ASUS P5N-D motherboard (which is based on the nForce 750i SLI chipset). The boot CD system hangs on boot, presumably when it is trying to initialize the SATA driver (the HD activity light stays on). This system runs earlier versions of Solaris perfectly fine (I am currently running SXCE snv113 on it, and before that I was using SXCE snv89). This bug appears to date back to at least snv125 (I have SXCE snv125 and snv_130 CD images, and both of those hang in exactly the same way).
