Slow detection of Dell SAS 6i/R aka LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter (mpt0)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm not sure if I should have sent this to freebsd-questions@, but here we go. I have a couple of Dell PowerEdge R200 rack servers, both equipped with the Dell SAS 6i/R RAID controller, running i386 7.2-RELEASE but they'll soon be upgraded to i386 7.2-STABLE. The mpt driver spends a minute or so eager to initialize the controller, but fails with the following messages: mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xdfbec000-0xdfbeffff,0xdfbf0000-0xdfbfffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 mpt0: [ITHREAD] mpt0: MPI Version=1.5.18.0 mpt0: mpt_wait_req(6) timed out mpt0: port 0 enable timed out mpt0: failed to enable port 0 mpt0: unable to initialize IOC The virtual disk comprised of two SAS disks is recognized as the following: da0 at mpt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <Dell VIRTUAL DISK 1028> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device da0: 300.000MB/s transfers da0: Command Queueing Enabled da0: 285568MB (584843264 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 36404C) Is there a way to get rid of the slow and failing initialization? I'd be happy to try out patches or even allow shell access. Complete dmesg output is available on demand. I can arrange for a verbose dmesg output if verbose booting is still an option. I can't remember the last time I attempted a verbose (re)boot.
