 PERC2/SC on BX chipset ECS MB and its throwing all sorts of fits.  When I

 can test this theory to see if this is the case.  Looking at the release
 notes for the BIOS revs at AMI, it seems older BIOS revs might have
 problems with newer MBs
 
 From ftp://ftp.megatrends.com/MegaRAID/drivers/466/readme-gh6d.txt
 Changes in this release:
 ---
 1. CTRL-M is not invoked until after the system BIOS is completed
on newer systems that support PMM (POST Memory Management).  
The system would hang at different places in CTRL-M on these 
systems prior to these changes.
 
 Until I flashed it to this new rev, I was seeing this behaviour.

Just to reiterate; I can reliably hang the 466 running with this firmware 
within a few minutes under the 'amr' driver, while the Dell 3.00 firmware 
doesn't demonstrate the config-time hangs on any system I've run it on 
and is also not susceptible to the hang problems.

I've been a little distracted with various Mylex-related issues for a 
little bit now, and am still waiting for some response from AMI before 
returning to work on these problems.  I'm also in need of a more or less 
permanent loan of a 434 or 438 (preferably) controller as all I have 
right now are 418/428/466 and Karsten's been reporting issues with all of 
the 438's firmware.

which megaraid adapter do you use in this box (hw, fw ver, bios ver,
cntl-m ver)...

i've seen those panics on our old news box when there where errors on

i've seen those panics on our old news box when there where errors on
the scsi busses which did not get detected properly. mainly termination
issues *sigh*

amr0: AMI MegaRAID mem 0xe300-0xe300 irq 10 at device 10.1 on
pci0
amr0: firmware EH61 bios 1.31  16MB memory
amrd0: MegaRAID logical drive on amr0
amrd0: 35040MB (71761920 sectors) RAID 0 (optimal)

And I receive the panics on BOTH the array and the normal da disks.

I know the termination is correct.
