OK. I haven't seen timeout errors like that for a long time, so you =
could be right. I don't know.
This is from a running 9.2-RC4 system:
mfi1: <Drake Skinny> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem =
0xfad9c000-0xfad9ffff,0xfadc0000-0xfadfffff irq 30 at device 0.0 on pci2
mfi1: Using MSI
mfi1: Megaraid SAS driver Ver 4.23=20
...
mfi1: 15228 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 2.130.384-2291
mfi1: 15229 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Package version 20.11.1-0137
mfi1: 15230 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Board Revision 03A
