Hi, We have Drake Skinny (9240-4i and 9240-8i) cards running, most recently = with 9.2-RC4. We'll be testing 9.2-RELEASE in the next week or two. We have seen problems with older versions of the firmware, and = interactions with some Supermicro BIOS versions. All these problems have = been resolved by upgrading to the latest versions of the controller = firmware and system BIOSes. We're running with with hw.mfi.msi=3D1. I haven't tested without that = since early 2011; I should probably try it out. So: What firmware do you have in the controller? Did you update it? Regards, Jan.
