Subject:   Mylex ac250 hangs system when booting
Message-ID:  <002601c0139b$5c633cc0$0745da80@ucsf.edu>

My system:

Abit KA7 with BIOS version "TY"
Mylex Accelleraid 250 (BIOS version 4.10.41, firmware version 4.07-0-29)
Athlon 750
256MB PC133 ECC RAM
Cyclades multiport serial card
cheapo ATI videocard

In the past, I was able to load FreeBSD onto a RAID 1 partition just fine.
At some point my system developed a problem when rebooting.  Now the system
hangs after detecting my IDE drives.  I hear the Mylex card spinning up the
SCSI drives though.  Cycling the power sometimes lets me boot all the way.

No hardware has been recently added, but I did upgrade my motherboard's BIOS
not too long ago.  Everything worked fine for a while after that though.

The ac250's firmware and BIOS are not the current versions, but I'm
hesistant to upgrade.

Any comments?  Please cc: me on any responses to the list.
