Hi, I've posted on this before, and I've received no reply. I'm cross-posting just in case it was missed before (I am desperate for help) and to ask for further advice. Basically we have a number of FreeBSD servers, running 4.5-RELEASE and 4.6-RELEASE, that use AMI MegaRaid 500 controllers. These boxes refuse to reboot when sent a reboot or shutdown -r. They simply close all processes and show : amr0: flushing cache...done Rebooting... At this point the numlock key is locked, and Ctrl + Alt + Deleting does nothing. The exact dmesg shows: amr0: <AMI MegaRAID> mem 0xffff0000-0xffffffff irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 amr0: <Series 475 40 Logical Drive Firmware> Firmware E161, BIOS 3.13, 32MB RAM This is the same controller in both boxes that is giving us this particular problem. Has anybody experienced and managed to solve this problem. Not being able to remotely reboot our servers is not a good thing. Are there any other recommended AMI controllers? What I find odd is this controller is specifically mentioned in both the Hardware Notes and amr(4). -byron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
