The driver appears to work okay, except during boot up. While booting, it looks at 3:15 consistently (3:15 is the controller of the PV210S), says that is is gone, sometimes marks it offline (and othertimes throws up some diagnostic information), and then pauses... for 2+ minutes. Then it boots, and everything operates normally. We didn't have this problem in our previous setup (with the DAC1100 and the mlx driver, everything worked fine). Does anyone know why it's pausing, and a way to avoid it? I have attempted to include the important information, if anything else is needed please let me know. -t. > uname -a FreeBSD cc-301.tor3.targetnet.pvt 4.3-STABLE-20010529-JPSNAP FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE-20010529-JPSNAP #0: Fri Jun 22 17:04:17 GMT 2001 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/kernel.conf i386 > dmesg | grep mly mly0: port 0xec80-0xecff mem 0xf0000000-0xf3ffffff,0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff irq 2 at device 8.0 on pci1 mly0: eXtremeRAID 2000, 4 channels, firmware 6.00-9-00 (20010412), 64MB RAM mly0: physical device 3:15 gone mly0: enclosure 15 unit 0 access offlinemly0: physical device 3:15 gone mly0: physical device 3:15 gone mly0: physical device 3:15 gone mly0: physical device 3:15 gone da0 at mly0 bus 4 target 0 lun 0 da1 at mly0 bus 4 target 1 lun 0 [fyi: it "pauses" after the last mly0 line -- when it continues, it starts with the da0 line] -- Tim Strike (tstrike@targetnet.com) Director of Architecture, TargetNet Inc.
