Hi...

Am having probs with a Mylex eXtremeRAID 1100 (DAC1164) under 
both 3.4-RELEASE & 4.0-CURRENT. Card gets detected fine when no 
disks are attached but fails to detect card properly when disks 
are attached (and takes a few mins to even boot). Have also 
tried Linux & NT on the same box and both install fine so it 
doesn't appear to be a hardware problem (termination, etc..).

Relevant chunks from bootverbose (4.0-20000112-CURRENT):

Have been seeing this behaviour with various 4.0 snapshots since
late Novemeber.

Box also has both ahc and amr controllers and is booting off the
ahc.

Any ideas ?
