   I just got handed 4 of the subject boxes with instructions put 'em to
   work. Naturally I tried FreeBSD first, on one of the machines. Boot 
   from
   the 9.0 AMD64 boot-only install CD fails. Things look fine until the 
   last
   several lines of the (verbose enabled) boot sequence, which (from an
   insufficiently-wide phone camera capture) are:
  
   
   mpt0: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter port 0x3000-0x[lost off right edge of
  phone]
   xc5d0-0xc5de irq 34 at device 0.0 on pci[lost]
   mpt0: attempting to allocate 1 MSI vectors (1 su[lost]
   msi: routing MSI IRQ 256 to local APIC 0 vector [lost]
   mpt0: using IRQ 256 for MSI
   mpt0: soft reset failed, device not running
   NMI ISA 2c, EISA 0
   NMI ... going to debugger
   mpt0: hard reset failed
   
 
  Does setting 'hint.mpt.0.msi_enable=0' in the loader make a difference?

 Thanks VERY MUCH (and come collect your steak dinner at Cattlemen's Cafe in
 OKC, next time you're in the area) for the very quick response.

 I will be happy to try that, but need guidance. This is an install from
 CD (burned from FreeBSD-9.1-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso), and I don't know how to
 insert a loader hint in that process.

 When the loader menu pops up, choose the escape to loader prompt option,
 then type 'set hint.mpt.0.msi_enable=0' followed by 'boot'.  There's no
 guarantee this will help, btw, just something to try out first.

 If that doesn't work, you can also try setting 'machdep.kdb_on_nmi=0' using
 the same trick.

 If that still doesn't help, please boot another OS that does and get the
 output of 'lspci -v' or 'pciconf -lvb' or equivalent so we can see exactly
 which mpt adapter it is.  I think there is one class of mpt(4) cards that
 we do not yet support properly.  Ah, yes, this PR:

 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=149220

 I think this may in fact be your adapter.  This was fixed after 9.0, so try
 a 9.1-RC1 install disk instead and see if it works better.

 Is it actually an mpt?  There's a number of current servers that have
 *mfi* raid controllers that are mis-identified as mpt and being
 claimed by the mpt driver.  Naturally this does not work well.  I
 recognize the exact failure text from a failure we had in the
 freebsd.org cluster a few days ago with 9.0-RELEASE.

 The good news is that 9-STABLE or 9.1-RC get it right, at least on our
 hardware. It correctly attaches as mpt.

Argh!  Correctly attaches as mfi, damn it.
