Solaris8 HCL lists hardware that isn't found during installation

Question

The Solaris8 HCL list video cards 'Diamond Viper V770' and 'Creative Labs 3D Blaster Riva TNT2' cards as being compatible, yet the boot disk (even the latest download) doesn't reference these cards at all. What gives?

Answer 1

My guess, and there were threads back when Intel X25-M came out, it is a firmware compatibility issue. I thought by now and with current new units, it was a think of the past.
I'll let you wade through the links, threads, and tips:

The new firmware fixed my issue.
You should contact Intel support for a fix.

However, it may not solve.

If anything, I would 'move' (ie, clone) OS X to another drive. Catch-22: you need Windows usually to apply any firmware update to SSD (and other devices).
80GB is really small. Especially for an SSD and Windows 7 - over provisioning, garbage collection, etc will make for a tight squeeze. Windows 7 on SSD uses 30GB and then there is page file, hibernation, 9GB for SP1 (due soon), and that is moving temp folders to another (mechanical) drive.
80GB = 72GB user partition and you want to leave 20% free for each OS. OS X needs 20-30GB plus free space as well.
