Hi All

We have a brand new Dell Power Edge 1750 with an LSILogic 1030 Ultra 4 SCSI Adapter and 2 
x 73 GB harddrives.

I did not do the install because I am about 1000 miles form our co-location facility, but 
here is the information I have on the problems seen by the tech doing the install.

With the two factory installed drives attached the system will not boot from the install 
CD.  If the second drive is disconnected the system can be installed, but again will not 
boot if the second drive is connected.  The system is running 4.9-RC with an SMP kernel. 
4.8 gave the same results.

This is what's logged with one or two drives:

Oct 27 10:30:26 king7 /kernel: mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 
0xfcd20000-0xfcd2ffff,0xfcd30000-0xfcd3ffff irq 7 at device 5.0 on pci4

Oct 27 10:30:26 king7 /kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a

When there are two drives the machine hangs at this point and prints the following error 
message to the console:

MPT0: time out on request sequence: sequence = 0xFD

Anyone else have this problem with FreeBSD?  Is there a workaround?  Need more info?

Thanks
