Hi. I'm posting this bug report here at the suggestion of Andriy Gapon, of the freebsd-amd64 list. The machine is, as stated in the Subject header, a shiny new IBM x3650M4 (32GB, 2x4-core Xeon E5-2600, IBM ServeRaid M5110e) I just got handed 4 of the subject boxes with instructions "put 'em to work". Naturally I tried FreeBSD first, on one of the machines. Boot from the 9.0 AMD64 boot-only install CD fails. Things look fine until the last several lines of the (verbose enabled) boot sequence, which (from an insufficiently-wide phone camera capture) are: " mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0x3000-0x[lost off right edge of phone] xc5d00000-0xc5deffff irq 34 at device 0.0 on pci[lost] mpt0: attempting to allocate 1 MSI vectors (1 su[lost] msi: routing MSI IRQ 256 to local APIC 0 vector [lost] mpt0: using IRQ 256 for MSI mpt0: soft reset failed, device not running NMI ISA 2c, EISA 0 NMI ... going to debugger mpt0: hard reset failed " after which the firmware reinitializes the system and the sequence starts over, totally repeatable. The IBM literature says the RAID adapter is an IBM ServeRaid M5110e, the RAID configuration firmware calls it a MegaRaid, and FreeBSD identifies it as an LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter. I don't know what it really is, but it's getting in the way and not playing nicely. I'd really like to add these to the stable, and particularly want to run them in 64-bit mode; 32-bit just isn't roomy enough. This isn't my first rodeo. If this is an appropriate venue, then what do you need from me? What can I do to help get this set of problems solved? Or have I just got incompatible, unsupported hardware? If it's not the right venue, then a (flameless) pointer to the appropriate venue will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, from -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
