I have installed 3.0-RELEASE on a new server, and upgraded to 3.0-STABLE. The machine has a Buslogic BT-958 (FW Rev. 5.07B) SCSI card with seagate disks, all new. I have been experiencing errors and sudden reboots every couple of days at around 2:00 a.m. when the daily scripts run. Interestingly enough though, I ran `make world' twice without any errors. In the past, I have found that flaky hardware shows up right away during a full build. An example of the errors: -- Feb 6 18:40:44 fern /kernel: : Encountered busy mailbox with 175 out of 192 commands active!!!bt0: Encountered busy mailbox with 174 out of 192 commands active!!!bt0: Encountered busy mailbox with 173 out of 192 commands active!!!bt0: btdone - Attempt to free non-active BCCB 0xf550f540 Feb 6 18:41:43 fern /kernel: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf550f1c0 - timed out Feb 6 18:42:00 fern /kernel: bt0: btdone - Attempt to free non-active BCCB 0xf550d3c0 Feb 6 18:42:00 fern /kernel: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf550f1c0 - timed out Feb 6 18:42:00 fern /kernel: bt0: No longer in timeout -- I found these error messages in the buslogic driver /usr/src/sys/dev/buslogic/bt.c, but I'm not quite sure what they mean. I'm really not sure if this is a hardware error in the disk, the SCSI board, or something else... I ran all of the diagnostics that are available on the Buslogic card, including an integrity check on the disk. Everything checks out okay according to those tests. Does anyone have any thoughts on this before I start replacing hardware? Thank you.
