freebsd stable - Aug 2013 - AAC regression in 9.2-BETA

I have an Adaptec 2820SA (SATA) controller that hangs the system during
booting on 9.2-BETA[12]. 

 

The only message I see on the console refers to controller aac0 and
indicates "TIMEOUT 138 SECONDS".

 

This same controller/motherboard works flawlessly with 9.1-RELEASE-p5.

 

I have moved this hardware to "testing" mode and can rebuild often.

 

I am asking for direction and suggestions as to which commits might be at
fault.

 

I am sorry that I didn't detect this problem earlier in the release cycle.

 

Hope we can resolve this before 9.2-RELEASE.

 

Thanks.

That could be due to MSIs being broken with your particular controller
or mainboard. Please try whether setting the tunable hw.aac.enable_msi
to 0 on the loader prompt before booting makes things work. If it does,
please provide a verbose dmesg and the output of `pciconf -lcv`.
