System: NetBSD heiligenberg 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (HEILIGENBERG) #3: Wed Jul 28 16:42:21 CEST 2004 hf@heiligenberg:/var/obj/netbsd-builds/2_0/i386/sys/arch/i386/compile/HEILIGENBERG i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

	Attempting a 2.0beta install on an i386 19" server with a LSI
	Logic LSI20320-R RAID 1 (firmware version '1030F00') stalls
	after unpacking a few tarballs;
	at most, it gets to running MAKEDEV.

	/kern/msgbuf has a load of entries like (hand-copied):

sd0(mpt0:0:0:0): command timeout
mpt0: timeout on request index 0x9b, seq 0x000007dd
mpt0: status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x24000000
mpt0: request state: On Chip

and

sd0(mpt0:0:0:0): command timeout
mpt0: timeout on request index 0x9b, seq 0x00000b55
mpt0: Device not running
mpt0: mailbox: (0x4000777) State Fault WhoInit No One
mpt0: status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x40007777
mpt0: request state: On Chip


I had similar problems about nine months ago installing
1.6Z{something} on an identical machine, but managed to work around
the issue. This time no go, although I haven't tried manually
unpacking the tarballs, yet. I suspect that sysinst mounting '-o
async' overloads the driver.

The OpenBSD mpt(8) manpage points out that their driver does not work
with firmware versions > 1.03.00 without giving details.
 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to install 2.0beta on an i386 machine equipped with a
	LSI20320-R RAID 1.

>Fix:
	No idea.
