Dear Mr. Long,

during the last week or so, I've been trying to get more information
about the problem in 4.8-RELEASE that this thread has been about.

Yesterday, just when I thought that maybe I had some interesting data
worth sending to you, I noticed that 4.9-RC1 was out. So I tested for the
symptoms in that and I have to admit that

           IT WORKS IN 4.9-RC1 !   Wonderful!

I.e., the machine does boot from a rebuilding array and array degradation
at runtime doesn't make the machine hang because of storage failure.
All of that with SMP, APIC_IO and HT enabled.
No need to include the irrelevant ISP driver (see the attachments for
an explanation of this comment).


In the newsgroups, I've noticed other people complaing about various
aac-based hardware under FreeBSD.
I am aware that there have been changes to dev/aac/* between 4.8 and 4.9.
I'm not sure whether you have managed to squash the bug, or if the remedy
was incidental, and whether or not the bug was in the aac drivers or
elsewhere in the system (APIC handling? DMA mapping?).
Therefore, just in case you were interested, the information I gathered in
4.8 is attached to this message.

Hmm. Now that this is solved, I'd like to focus on the defunct aaccli.
I guess I'd better start another thread related to that.

Thanks for the great job that you're doing in the FreeBSD team.
And, thanks for your patience with me.

Frank Rysanek
