} This card might be an OEM version; can you check the BIOS/setup utilities/
} stickers on the board etc.? 
} 
} The card is probably a 2.x or 3.x firmware model; you can tell the 
} difference by looking for the PROM sockets close to the PCI connector.  
} There should be two sockets; a 2.x card will have one PROM and one empty 
} socket, while a 3.x card will have two PROMs.  Once you've worked this 
} out, you should add an entry in the mlx_identifiers array in 
} sys/dev/mlx/mlx_pci.c and try again.

It look like that the firmware model is v3.5-0-9 (with two PROM),
so I duplicated the second entry and changed D-ID from 0x0002 to 0x0200.

} mlx_identifiers[] = {
    {0x1069, 0x0001, 0x0000, 0x0000, MLX_IFTYPE_2, "Mylex version 2 RAID interfa
ce"},
    {0x1069, 0x0002, 0x0000, 0x0000, MLX_IFTYPE_3, "Mylex version 3 RAID interfa
ce"},
    {0x1069, 0x0200, 0x0000, 0x0000, MLX_IFTYPE_3, "Mylex version 3 RAID interfa
ce"},
    {0x1069, 0x0010, 0x0000, 0x0000, MLX_IFTYPE_4, "Mylex version 4 RAID interfa
ce"},
    {0x1011, 0x1065, 0x1069, 0x0020, MLX_IFTYPE_5, "Mylex version 5 RAID interfa
ce"},
    {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
};

The booting process hangs firmly at --

mlx0: <Mylex version 3 RAID interface> ... ...
mlx0: controller initialisation in progress ...

What can I try next?

Thanks,
