It looks like the controller's being left in a state that the driver doesn't like; commands are completing but return garbage. > Relevant chunks from bootverbose (4.0-20000112-CURRENT): > > Without disks attached: > mlx0: port 0xdc80-0xdcff mem > 0xec000000-0xeffff > fff,0xf7fffc00-0xf7fffc7f irq 14 at device 8.0 on pci3 > mlx0: DAC1164PVX, 2 channels, firmware 5.07-0-79, 64MB RAM ... > With disks attached: > mlx0: port 0xdc80-0xdcff mem > 0xec000000-0xeffff > fff,0xf7fffc00-0xf7fffc7f irq 14 at device 8.0 on pci3 > mlx0: DAC model 0x80, 0 channel, firmware 0.00--0, 0MB RAM The ENQUIRY2 command has completed OK, but the data it has returned is complete nonsense. > Have been seeing this behaviour with various 4.0 snapshots since > late Novemeber.

As soon as I can, I will, and I'll try to reproduce your problem. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
