Not sure the events are related, but it does appear that you have the mpt driver's debugging enabled. Have you been booting with -v, or have the mpt_debug kernel environment variable set in loader.conf, or setting something in sysctl.conf? The lights-on thing would seem to be some sort of bus freeze, like a BDR from a device. Since you're using a disk enclosure, is it reporting any problems accessing any of its disks? perhaps there's a bad cable or device going down in the enclosure? I have an x335 here, which is the ATA version of the x345, yet the MPT is still on the board. I plugged it into a couple of disks for testing and it worked, except if I enabled the Integrated Mirroring (IM) which requires OS support. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
