It might have to do with a similar problem we ran into when we did the last update of the firmware prior to c170. Our RAID-5 server is a dual SMP machine with an AMI Enterprise 1600 RAID controller. After the update it wasn't possible to boot the machine into SMP kernel. When booting into SMP kernel, the machine froze after a while or immediately after booting. Only UP kernel was stable. The problem was that in the stream of updates AMI/LSI Logic has changed some PCI-internals of the AMI Enterprise/Mega RAID cards. Our FreeBSD box utilizes a TYAN Thunder 2500 main PCB with two 64Bit/66MHz slots but we used (no one know why) the 64Bit/33MHz bus. After switching the RAID controler to the second 64Bit/66MHz bus the machine ran like a charm as expected. So my recommendition is to swap your controler card to another PCI slot and ensure that there is no other IRQ shared with the AMI Mega RAID controler! Hope that helps ... Oliver -- MfG O.
