I could use some advice on this issue I have had with my raid controller. I am not really running much on the system yet, postfix, Pf + pflogd, rlogind, ssh, bsnmp and ntpd. While I was just reading a file with less the system stopped responding. I thought it was the network interfaces but I was able to ping the interface. Once I plugged a monitor into the system I saw this (roughly): AAC0: COMMAND <SOME HEX> TIMEOUT AFTER X number of seconds Not good :) Reset of the system resolved the issue and it booted fine. Since the controller stopped responding nothing was recorded to my logs. Now I have to figure out how to prevent that from happening again. Basic run down on the system and some history... P4 3.2Ghz Asus P5MT-S MB 2 x 1GB DDR2 667 memory Adaptec 2130SLP Raid Controller + battery backup module 2 Segate Ultra320 73GB 15k RPM (mirrored) I have run this same system hardware testing 6.2-BETA3, RC-1 and RC-2 without this issue. I was using the driver released by Adaptec while testing the pre-release installs (http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/speed/raid/aac/unix/aacraid_freebsd6_drv_b11518_tgz.htm). You could say I am fairly confidient in the hardware itself. I have put this system through a lot of testing since BETA3. The 6.2 release kernel has not been customized all that much, I just pulled out all the drivers I would never use. To be safe I kept just about all scsi devices/card models still in as I continued my testing of 6.2 release. Right now I am going to try taking out aac and aacp then try the driver I used in my previous tests. However, since I have run a week without this issue it will be hard/impossible tell if this did anything to resolve it...I almost want a crash on the old driver :) So I need some advice... How best do I debug this issue? Thanks in advance for any direction you guys can offer me. Cheers, Jeff
