The controller/driver was also causing a system panic for me shortly before root was mounted. I had some earlier kernels where everything worked just fine except for the long delay, and then a few days ago I attempted to update to the latest 4.3-RC and it still paniced on me. After attempting to go back to the known-working kernel I had copied off, it still caused panics. Weird. Maybe there is something stored in the controller configuration that is tickling the panic. Luckily I was doing RAID1 as well, so I crossed my fingers and attached the drives to the plain onboard Adaptec controller and they worked (just no RAID1 anymore). I'd get a coredump for Mike Smith, but it doesn't want to dump the core onto the RAID array at that point. Some day I'll stick another drive in there just for that purpose on the on-board controller. Its a production system and I have to stick around really late to take it down, thats the only reason it hasn't been done already. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
