--Boundary-02=_pZ+1Atmdk51siaW Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline So I am tracking down a possible controller issue with a dual-Opteron=20 system (running the amd64 port - 5.2.1-REL branch) which has a 3ware=20 8506-12 SATA controller controlling 1.2TB of disk space.=20 While the system iself is nice, under sustained high disk I/O, the system=20 randomly locks up hard. (requires a hard reset) In trying to diagnose the problem I noticed the kernel recognises it as a=20 12 channel controller (albiet from the 7000 series): =2D=3D- % grep twe /var/run/dmesg.boot twe0: <3ware 7000 series Storage Controller. Driver version 1.50.00.000>=20 port 0x8c00-0x8c0f mem 0xfb800000-0xfbffffff,0xfc7ffc00-0xfc7ffc0f irq=20 29 at device 1.0 on pci1 twe0: 12 ports, Firmware FE7S 1.05.00.063, BIOS BE7X 1.08.00.048 =2D=3D- When we took delivery of the system late last year, the 12 channel=20 version of the 8506 card was so new you had to run 5.2-RC2 to get a=20 version of the twe driver to support it. Have there been changes to the=20 driver since then to better support this card? (Of course the problem may be elsewhere, the MB, CPU(s), memory... The=20 joys of HW debugging) Side note I have noticed that I can install 5.2.1=20 on the box and update to the latest patch level, but subequent 'make=20 buildworld's usually dies randomly on a signal 4 error.
