Hello, freebsd-scsi. It seems I solved my problem. It happened that the bug I collided with had been already discussed in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=92840+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2012/freebsd-scsi/20120311.freebsd-scsi So I applied the patch attached and since then everything is going well. Thank you, Kenneth and Marius, for great work! With the best regards, Andrew. P.S. I'm still a bit curious why did my devices work pretty nice separately.

KC> Today I ran into some strange problem while launching two mpt(4) cards KC> simultaneously within the same host. Each one in itself works fine but KC> together they cause the kernel to panic when probing devices. KC> It seems the trouble is that both cards are steered by the same device KC> driver, mpt(4), and the trouble arises when disks should be attached KC> to the corresponding device. KC> The first device (mpt0) is Fibre Channel PCIe card LSI 7104EP - which KC> worked great for several years along with another RAID (amr(4), if it KC> matters) within another host. KC> The second one (mpt1) is LSI SAS 1078 - RAID controller integrated into KC> Intel's platform SR2600URLXR (I had to get fresh 9-stable kernel to KC> bring this card up). KC> The other part of problem that I could not get any sensitive KC> information from the kernel because it hangs as soon as it discovers KC> some disks at the RAID controller (the existence of any disks at KC> FC-card makes no difference). The USB keyboard hangs (or whatever in KC> the kernel) as well at the same moment so I can't do any magic through KC> in-kernel debugger nor get any dump. KC> So far I stuck with 2 questions: KC> - did anybody have any luck with mupltiple mpt(4) cards within a KC> single host? KC> - what can I do to resolve this trouble?
