[indiana-discuss] "zio_read_data failed" in GRUB while trying to boot from compact flash (CF)

[Mary Ding]

Vladimir:

This had been brough up back in June.  James Lee said that downgrading 
the controller firmware and he was able to boot the compact flash drive.

I did went ahead and filed a bug against solaris/kernel/boot-x86 and 
someone from that team will take a look and see whether they can 
reproduce the problem and see what can be done. 

6864420 - cannot boot off Kingston compact flash drive attached to a 
standard Sil 0680 IDE controller
