Hi Niall, Please update the firmware from http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/sas/#sas_raid Adaptec Series 7 SAS/SATA 6 Gb - Host Bus Adapter section based on your card.
What is the current firmware version? You can get from the sys file "fw_version" under /sys/devices. Can you please try checking with different pm80xx HBA card if you have?

The error can be produced in version 0.1.36 and 0.1.37 of the pm8001 module. I was hoping that when I updated it, I might be able to resolve it, but alas. My knowledge of MPI is rather limited and I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with regards to tackling this... increasing the max wait count, changing the firmware, etc? [ 23.874307] mpi_uninit_check 663:TIMEOUT:IBDB value/=0x2 [ 23.937847] soft_reset_ready_check 697:MPI state is not ready [ 24.006578] pm8001_chip_soft_rst 761:FW is not ready [ 26.449013] pm8001_chip_init 609:Firmware is not ready!
