heya, i got an LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X a couple weeks ago and i noticed it was not quite "behaving". by this i mean that i had a 200GB disk on which i had installed a 3.8 snapshot and i plugged it into the RAID controller and booted the machine. it loaded the kernel just fine, but when it came time to check the filesystems, i got a blue kernel message that said:
ami0: out of bounds 390,716,864 - 1 >= 388,671,488 so apparently the controller did not grok the last little portion of the disk i had attached, but the machine i had installed the 3.8 snapshot from had done so just fine. i then tried to reinstall onto that disk from the CD drive i have attached to the machine with the RAID controller in it. when it came time to create the partitions with disklabel, i got the same error as before and it occurred when my /home partition was being initialized. to work around this i've made sure to only allocate less than the 388,671,488 sectors that the controller is seeing. now things are running fine. i don't know if this qualifies as a "bug", but my ear is really bothering me and i suddenly want to kill Captain Kirk. here's my dmesg: OpenBSD 3.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #338: Sat Oct 8 12:43:21 MDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Intel Pentium III ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,SER,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 268017664 (261736K) avail mem = 237666304 (232096K) using 3297 buffers containing 13504512 bytes (13188K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(00) BIOS, date 04/23/03, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfdba0 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown, estimated 0:00 hours apm0: APM get event: interface not connected (3) apm0: APM get event: interface not connected (3) apm0: disconnected apm0: flags 30102 dobusy 0 doidle 0 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf4b70/192 (10 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:15:0 ("ServerWorks ROSB4 SouthBridge" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #0 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xc8000/0x2200 0xca800/0x1000 0xcb800/0x1000 ipmi at mainbus0 not configured mainbus0: Intel MP Specification (Version 1.4) (AMI CNB30LE ) cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: apic clock running at 132 MHz cpu1 at mainbus0: apid 1 (application processor) cpu1: Intel Pentium III ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1 GHz cpu1: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,SER,MMX,FXSR,SSE mainbus0: bus 0 is type PCI mainbus0: bus 1 is type PCI mainbus0: bus 2 is type PCI mainbus0: bus 3 is type ISA ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 8 pa 0xfec00000, version 11, 16 pins ioapic1 at mainbus0: apid 9 pa 0xfec01000, version 11, 16 pins pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "ServerWorks CNB20LE Host" rev 0x06 pchb1 at pci0 dev 0 function 1 "ServerWorks CNB20LE Host" rev 0x06 pci1 at pchb1 bus 1 ppb0 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 vendor "Intel", unknown product 0x0335 rev 0x07 pci2 at ppb0 bus 2 ami0 at pci2 dev 14 function 0 "Symbios Logic MegaRAID SATA 8x" rev 0x07: apic 9 int 7 (irq 10) LSI 3008/32b ami0: FW 813G, BIOS vH425, 128MB RAM ami0: 1 channels, 0 FC loops, 1 logical drives scsibus0 at ami0: 40 targets sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <AMI, Host drive #00, > SCSI2 0/direct fixed sd0: 189781MB, 189781 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 388671488 sec total scsibus1 at ami0: 16 targets vga1 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "ATI Rage XL" rev 0x27 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) fxp0 at pci0 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 82557" rev 0x08, i82559: apic 9 int 4 (irq 9), address 00:e0:81:04:64:96 inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 4 fxp1 at pci0 dev 5 function 0 "Intel 82557" rev 0x08, i82559: apic 9 int 5 (irq 5), address 00:e0:81:04:64:97 inphy1 at fxp1 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 4 pcib0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "ServerWorks ROSB4 SouthBridge" rev 0x50 pciide0 at pci0 dev 15 function 1 "ServerWorks OSB4 IDE" rev 0x00: DMA atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0 scsibus2 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus2 targ 0 lun 0: <DELTA, OIP-SD2400A/BM, 5.6i> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable cd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2 ohci0 at pci0 dev 15 function 2 "ServerWorks OSB4/CSB5 USB" rev 0x04: apic 8 int 10 (irq 10), version 1.0, legacy support usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: ServerWorks OHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pmsi0 at pckbc0 (aux slot) pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pmsi0 mux 0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 sysbeep0 at pcppi0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 biomask 0 netmask 0 ttymask 0 pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support dkcsum: sd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 root on sd0a rootdev=0x400 rrootdev=0xd00 rawdev=0xd02 regards, jake
