Here is the post for it. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126741813906116&w=2 Which was eventually fixed. Patch is available here. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126745177832615&w=2 Thanks -Sachin > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: linux-scsi-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-scsi- >> owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Sachin Sant >> Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 6:12 PM >> To: linux-scsi >> Cc: linux-next@vger.kernel.org; LKML; Moore, Eric >> Subject: [-next Feb 9] Boot failure on x86_64: mptbase fails to >> initialize >> >> Today's next failed to boot on my 4 way x86_64 box because of mptbase >> driver initialization failure. >> >> Snippet of messages during boot : >> >> Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.14 >> mptsas 0000:03:04.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; probably buggy MP >> table >> mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup >> ioc0: LSISAS1064 A3: Capabilities={Initiator} >> mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!! >> mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery >> mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x2, >> action 0 >> mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!! >> mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery >> mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!! >> mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery >> mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x1, >> action 0 >> mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!! >> >> Eventually machine fails to boot.
