Søren!!!, Promise FastTrak TX2300 semphore timeouts, 6.1-BETA2
I'm getting "ad(x): req=0xc(foobar) setfeatures set transfer mode semphore timeout !! Danger Will Robinson !! after I installed BETA2 on my server (Intel SE7210TP-E). I get the messages a few minutes after the systems booted up, and then it deadlocks. I had to go to great length just to get BETA2 installed... If I tried to install FreeBSD on ar0 sysinstall would just hang... I had to set the two drives up (Seagate 80GB SATA w/NCQ) in JOBD mode, install FreeBSD on ad4, reboot, edit /etc/fstab to point to ar0, and then set the RAID up in the BIOS. I had this server working just fine with the ata-mk3n patch set in 5.4, though I did see this error once before when I ran: "nice -20 make -j2 buildworld > /usr/data/buildworld.log&". /usr/data points to da0e, the highpoint RAID5 array (8 300GB Maxtor maxline III drives) --------------------------- The other ata/disk problems I noticed with BETA2 is that FreeBSD probes and sets up my HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 as ata3, ata4, ata5, ata6, ata7, ata8, ata9, and ata10... FreeBSD shouldn't even touch it... as the card needs highpoints drivers for it to work correctly, when the drivers are install it will show up as a da device. I haven't had a chance to install the drivers yet, so I just removed the card. When I ran setup in verbose mode FreeBSD seemed to mix the promise card and this card together as one device... I wasn't paying close attention though. I also tried using the onboard Adaptec HostRAID but it shows up in FreeBSD as ata20 and ata22 when I have the highpoint card is installed, wtf! :-) http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/efd503b8311aecea/ I saw your thread from the current mailling list that you might have already fixed this, but I'm not sure if you MFC'd it in time for BETA2, maybe I will try and reinstall FreeBSD in JOBD mode again and then cvsup all the new src and rebuild world? ------------------------- I could really use some help, This server has to be back online by 9am monday morning... If I can't get 6.x working I'll have to wait until this time next year to try again.... and thats no fun. Thanks... I'm going to bed now. -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/

Nevermind, I followed my own advice, everything's working perfect now. 1. Removed promise and highpoint cards. 2. Connected the primary drive to the onboard SATA controllor. 3. Installed BETA2. 4. cvsup'd new src, checked if sos's patches were in there, it was. so he missed BETA2. 5. rebuilt kernel. 6. reinstalled highpoint card to check if highpoint's drivers where compatable with 6.1, yes. 7. Removed the highpoint card. 8. edited /etc/fstab to change ad4 to ar0 9. disabled onboard SATA. 10. Installed promise card and reconnected drives, setup RAID1 from BIOS. 11. highpoint drivers: echo 'hptmv6_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf 12. reinstalled highpoint card. 13. installed highpoint raid managment software. 14. ran build/install world/kern.
