    Hi Sun Managers group

    I would like to get any advice on getting X86 loaded on an Intel
    SE7520JR2 with the SCSI option.

    I am tripping up on devices that are listed in the HCL as being supported?.
    Essentially all onboard chips:
    ICH5-R controller
    LSI controller (recognises - no issues)
    ATI Rage XL graphics
    E7520 chipset (Also used on Dell, IBM, HP systems)
    dual Intel 1G network ports

    When I start loading, the system reads the DCA from CD, but when I must
    select the boot device, the CD-Rom has disappeared.

    OK, so I do what you normally do under these circumstances:
    setprop acpi_user_options '0x2' (no option in bios to disable, so this
    is second best)

    At first this looks good, I can see everything.

    However, when I now select the CD to boot from for loading, it tells me:
    "Can't open - no hsfs VTOC"

    Normally this would indicate that the CD is bad, typical of a self made
    CD from ISO. However this is not the case. The media is the official Sun
    media that I have verified to work on another system by loading.

    I suspect this requires additional tweaks to the DCA, but based on the
    limited time available I do not have too much time to experiment.
    **
    (I know I will have to load patch 119375 for 73GB disks.)

    Any assitance will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Derek
