I recently upgraded my home file server from 11.2 to 12.0. After I did so, the BTX loader hangs. Hardware setup: Supermicro A1SAi-2750F mainboard (Atom C2750) with 16GB RAM + 128GB SSD on SATA3 port LSI 9300-8i SAS HBA with 8x2TB HDD The loaded enumerates my 9 devices with BIOS Drive X: diskY and then the spinner makes 1-2 revolutions and hangs. At this point, the system is completely non-responsive, even to Ctrl+Alt+Del. It makes the same behavior when booted of the amd64 install media. I was able to work around this by disabling boot support in the LSI firmware, since the 8 drives on that card are part of a data zpool. The OS is on UFS on the SATA3 SSD. The machine's had no issues with 11.0, 11.1, or 11.2. Has anyone seen anything similar, or have a better work around? I am running the most recent firmware for both the motherboard and the SAS HBA. I'd like to figure this out before I start updating the assorted Opteron/Xeon/etc based systems at work with LSI HBAs from 11.1 to 12.0. -- Bob Healey Obsolete Desktop Technician Office of Research and Scientific Computation Research Center healer@rpi.edu (518) 276-6022
