megaraid aborting problem (RHEL 3WS)

[Stas Nikiforov]

Hi,
I have a RHEL 3WS (RocksCluster) distribution
(kernel 2.4.21-15ELsmp) with megaraid2 2.10.3 driver.
The following is reported by dmesg.

    megaraid: v2.10.3 (Release Date: Thu Apr  8 16:16:05 EDT 2004)
    megaraid: [713G:G117] detected 1 logical drives.
    scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID 713G 254 commands 16 targs 4 chans 7 luns
    blk: queue c3620e18, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask
0xffffffffffffffff)
    scsi0: scanning scsi channel 0 for logical drives.
    Vendor: MegaRAID  Model: LD 0 RAID5 1192G  Rev: 713G
    Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Under heavy io I get the following messages reported by dmesg.
Could somebody tell me what is going wrong and what should I do next?

Thanks in advance,
Stas.

The hardware controller firmwre took a long long time to respond to
the driver, if it responded at all.  The SCSI mid-layer started timing
out requests, and eventually tried to reset the controller (but it
can't really do that).

You may want to try the newer driver that's on ftp.lsil.com and merged
into kernel.org to see if that helps, and make sure your firmware is
completely up-to-date.

Thanks,
Matt

Oops, I missed you were running RHEL3.  Get the latest errata kernel
(2.4.21-20.EL) from Red Hat and try again.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

Sorry for a very long delay. I try to do some things with hardware.

I have 2.4.21-20EL,
WD 6xHDD SATA DISK drive 250GB,
RAID 5, LSI firmware [713G:G117]

I've get the nvram log from the controller. 
Here it is.

LOG 48356182 event 0x390 time .....
Channel 0, Targed 255, lun 0
Code: 0x390
Category: i960 Hardware Error Event

My vendor told me to re-write firmware,
check all HDDs and re-initialize RAID. 
Now I do these things.

Stas.
