Hi,

This is a known problem that showed up late in the 5.1 release cycle.
I declined to allow the fix in as it was also somewhat disruptive.
Updating to 5.1-CURRENT should make the problem go away.  In any case
it's fairly harmless as it happens after the disks have been synced.

Hi,

I've just acquired a new Dell PowerEdge 4600 server (2x 2.4GHz Xeons,
2GB, PERC 3/Di, ...) which I've installed FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on.

All the hardware seems to be detected okay, and I've rebuilt a kernel
with unnecessary drivers removed and to take advantage of the SMP, and
this seems to be working in my limited testing so far.

The only problem I have, (and this happened with the stock installed
kernel too ISTR) is that on shutting down, I consistently get a panic,
which after rebuilding my kernel with the debugging turned on, I have
slightly more information:

...

This also causes the Hardware LCD display on the front to display "E13F5
PCI SYSTEM", which I have to remove all power from the machine to clear,
although the machine appears to still work with this message displayed.

On advice of the message regarding RAM/hardware failure, I've run all of
the Dell diagnostics to check things like the RAM, and they all pass
with no problem.

The machine has a 39160 fitted in one of the PCI-X slots and also has
both an AIC7899 and AIC7890 onboard, the latter of which has a Quantum
SDLT320 tape drive connected. I've tried removing the 39160 and this
makes no difference. If I remove the ahc driver from my config and
rebuild, I no longer get the panic, problem is I'd like to use the tape
drive :-)

I've included the output of "pciconf -v -l" below if that's any use,
otherwise I'm a bit green on debugging FreeBSD so if there is any more
information you want/need, please let me know how to get it.

Cheers

Matt
