Hello list,

I am the unfortunate owner of a few Supermicro servers that contain
Marvell 88SE9230 chips.

OpenBSD does detect them, however they get stuck in a softreset loop.

"ahci0: failed to stop port, cannot softreset"

A quick search reveals that the problem has been reported before and
that other operating systems had to put in some sort of delay workaround
because the chips don't follow the AHCI specs perfectly.

Reference: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/208667

I was wondering if someone has some sort of unofficial kernel patch or
could point me in the correct direction (other than "don't buy these
servers" -- too late).

Thank you.
