Hi,

	I'm running FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE on a Compaq DL380 with a built in RAID 
controller. When I boot or shutdown the machine, I get these errors:

da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 5  VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 104996MB (215032320 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 26352C)
ciss0: invalid command, offense size 0 at 0, value 0x0
(da0:ciss0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi status 
== 0xff
ciss0: invalid command, offense size 0 at 0, value 0x0
(da0:ciss0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi status 
== 0xff

The message: 

ciss0: invalid command, offense size 0 at 0, value 0x0
(da0:ciss0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi status 
== 0xff 

is repeated several times. There are no problems with the server, other 
than that. I'm guessing that the ciss driver isn't an exact match for 
this controller. Does anyone have any insight on this matter?

Regards,

Nicholas
