That's because we haven't released it in a patch yet. These things take time because we have a process to follow which requires due diligence. > I'm a little bit surprised you're releasing still new patches with > this bug open... I'm stung by your last sentence above - courtesy of you and Andy, we've only just come across this problem. The -15 and -16 revs of the mpt patch were in the pipeline for release well before this bug turned up and was analyzed. The most recent update I've seen to it came barely an hour ago and was from one of our most experienced engineers in the MPxIO area - he was suggesting one path we could follow to get this resolved. Once we've got it resolved and tested we can follow through the rest of the process for getting the fix released as a patch. Rest assured that yes, it is a P1 bug and we are giving it the attention it most definitely deserves. In the meantime, if you desperately want MPxIO on your x86 system with more than 4Gb of ram and the PCI-E hba, you could consider downgrading to the -14 version. James C.
