Hello,
I am trying to use a new firmware on a single port FC HBA with freebsd9
stable, but facing the firmware issue.
Card came with firmware version 5.5.0
(isp0: Board Type 2422, Chip Revision 0x3, resident F/W Revision 5.5.0)
I upgraded the firmware to 5.6.5, and disabled firmware flag by setting
"fwload_disable=YES" flag in /boot/device.hints to retain the newer
firmware.
On subsequent reboots the firmware fails to initialize and throws
isp0: Mailbox Command 'ABOUT FIRMWARE' failed (TIMEOUT)

The workaround is to enable the firmware flash by setting
"fwload_disable=NO", but that doesn't serves my purpose.
Is there a way to avoid the issue without a firmware flash on every reboot ?
Moreover i have seen the issue on older firmware 5.5.0 also, as soon I
disable the firmware flash and reboot.
Some old threads, but not helping much.

Any help is deeply appreciated.
