Graham, from the driver error messages it seems that the card believes you are on a switched fabric and that it most likely is logging into the SNS server to lookup names/addresses for your devices. Are you sure that your switched fabric is setup correctly? I missed part of this thread so I apologize if this topic has already been hashed out. If for some reason the host can not log into the SNS server and retrieve entries from the database, then you are going to be hosed (I agree the OS shouldn't be hung unless you are booting off the disk connected to the failed controller, etc.). I am very familiar with the ISP23/4xx chipset and I go digging more but I was wondering if you have verified that your topology is valid. -aps
