    Hi All

    We have a brand new Dell Power Edge 1750 with an LSILogic 1030 Ultra 4 SCSI Adapter and 2
    x 73 GB harddrives.

    I did not do the install because I am about 1000 miles form our co-location facility, but
    here is the information I have on the problems seen by the tech doing the install.

    With the two factory installed drives attached the system will not boot from the install
    CD. If the second drive is disconnected the system can be installed, but again will not
    boot if the second drive is connected. The system is running 4.9-RC with an SMP kernel.
    4.8 gave the same results.

    This is what's logged with one or two drives:

    Oct 27 10:30:26 king7 /kernel: mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xcc00-0xccff mem
    0xfcd20000-0xfcd2ffff,0xfcd30000-0xfcd3ffff irq 7 at device 5.0 on pci4
    Oct 27 10:30:26 king7 /kernel: mpt1: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem
    0xfcd00000-0xfcd0ffff,0xfcd10000-0xfcd1ffff irq 13 at device 5.1 on pci4

    Oct 27 10:30:26 king7 /kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a

    When there are two drives the machine hangs at this point and prints the following error
    message to the console:

    MPT0: time out on request sequence: sequence = 0xFD

    Anyone else have this problem with FreeBSD? Is there a workaround? Need more info?

    Thanks
