zfs discuss - Oct 2008 - Is It a SATA problem or there is something else !!!!!!

Hi there 
     I post this problem in Xen discussion before but with different title, I
thought it is something has to do with the memory .. so guys can you read the
thread first !!
 http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=76870&tstart=0

I tried this yesterday , I brought my friend pc and its ( intel dual core 1.6 ,
4GB Ram , IDE hard disk ) and I installed the same version that I used it on my
pc and I did the same things that cause my computer hang and it didn''t
hang everything went by swimmingly !!!!! .. so I start thinking that
it''s my hard disk , Am using 500GB SATA from Seagate and my friend
using also Seagate hard disk but IDE . so guys can anyone help to pinpoint the
real cause of this problem ...

I appreciate your helps and thanks in advance ...

Anas,

Are both (IDE and SATA) disks plugged in ?
I had similar problems where the machine woudl just drop into GRUB and never 
boot up despite giving the right GRUB commands.
I finally disconnected the IDE disk and things are fine now.

Thanks and regards,
Sanjeev.

I tried some other solutions but no luck. one solution remain is to upgrade the
system , so I took a nv_96 and I did a live upgrade to my system and everything
seems to work freaky nice , the system performance is really much faster , at
the end I think the cause of this whole problem is my SATA hard disk my be the
driver wasn''t good , I don''t know . one more thing , I notice
that memory being released by Dom0 much faster than sn_91, HAIL to all sun
developer !!!!!, and thanks again for your replay ...
