Aljoscha Vollmerhaus <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |ollmerhaus.net --- Comment #35 from Aljoscha Vollmerhaus <[email protected]> --- I may or may not have hit some variation of this bug, I'm not sure. My system is on 14.3 and has a Qlogic QLE2560, with an HP LTO4 drive attached. Until today, everything was working fine. Today, I rebooted. I had some uptime, but I don't remember not rebooting after the last "freebsd-update". So theoretically, nothing should have changed. But today, I rebooted for unrelated reasons. And I got caught in a boot loop with a kernel panic emanating from "firmware_taskq". Googling around a bit, I stumbled upon this issue and related reports about Qlogic on the mailing list. I pulled the Qlogic card, and the system resumed booting fine. I swapped PCIe slots to no avail, hoping in vain it might be some kind of electrical issue on the board (Supermicro X9SRi-F-B). But then I happened upon a crazy observation: Enabling the Qlogic's "OptionROM" made the issue go away! I'm not sure what is going on there, but I left the card out of the system after that observation. The system is in a remote location, and I don't feel comfortable any more with the card in there. Will take the card home with me, so I can experiment on the issue some more. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
