Hi,

I'm about to put two new machines in production, and they're both "core"
machines; main dns/auth/mail and a shell machine.  Currently the machines
we use in this capacity are 2.1.7.1, and it's been very stable.

Now the new machines share a RAID array hung off of a CMD CRD-5440.  I
patched our usual build (980825 -stable) with the July CAM patchkit, as
the existing AHC driver couldn't detect any LUNs beyond the first one.

All has been well so far, I've tried to stress the machines as much as
possible by running some disk benchmarks over and over, but yesterday one
locked up (console frozen) with the following messages being the last
thing on the console:

Dec 10 18:13:15 shell /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1e - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI == 0x0
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: SEQADDR == 0xa
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: SSTAT1 == 0xb
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b
Dec 10 18:13:18 shell /kernel: ahc0: Bus Device Reset Sent. 2 SCBs aborted

I had to give it a hard reset at this point.

So my questions are:  Is this a known issue?  Does it point to a possible
hardware problem?  Will there be a newer cam patchkit for -stable?

I don't think it's a cabling issue, as this is the first I've seen of any
anomolies with the scsi subsystem, and the only cabling in question here
is a high quality 2' external UW scsi cable from the back of this machine
to the RAID array.  The other machine that uses the other host port on the
RAID array remained functional during this glitch...

Any ideas?  I was very comfortable with CAM before, but now I'm a little
nervous about moving this into production.  Would it be better to try and
back out of the patches and use the ahc driver?  Let me know if there's
any other info needed.

Following are the boot messages...

Thanks,

Charles
