That's a very common setup for one of our big customers. I would first check your cabling (maybe swap it out with another system?) and then make sure your 6400 is installed properly -- maybe try another PCI slot? If nothing helps, it could be a bad 6400. Have you used 4.X or 5.X on this same hardware with success? -- John On 12/19/05, Lukas Ertl <le@freebsd.org> wrote: > > Guys, > > I'm trying to put FreeBSD 6.0 on a DL380 G3, which has a 14 disk bay > attached to a SmartArray 6400 (plus two disks on the internal SA 5* > controller). > > I configured 2 RAID5 devices from the 14 disks, plus 1 hot spare for each > device. > > I can newfs several partitions on the RAID5 devices with no problem, but > as soon as I do some serious I/O on these filesystems, the kernel croaks > "ciss1: ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED", and then the whole box is practically > paralized (ping works, but everything disk related just hangs), so a powe= r > cycle is required. > > Any idea what's up here?
