[Xen-devel] Failure to install Solaris Nevada 98 in stub domain at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64-bit)

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Notice,that SNV_98 may be installed in HVM DomU with no problems.

Attempt to install SNV_98 in stub domain fails immediately :-
Configuring /dev
ata_command: BSY too long!DRDY 0x1 CMD 0xe0 F 0x0 N 0x0 S 0x0 H 0x0 CL 0x0 CH 0x0
ata_command select failed  ...
ata_command select failed  ...

What means that hard drive cannot be detected by Nevada.

At the same time Fedora 8,9,Ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop,openSUSE11 and Solaris10 (05/08) can be installed in stub domains. All linuxes load the same driver "ata_piix".
