Forcing a graceful panic, the exact message I get is: --------------- snip -------------------- # sysctl -w debug.kdb.panic=1 debug.kdb.panic: 0panic: kdb_sysctl_panic cpuid = 0 KDB: enter: panic [thread pid 3438 tid 100053 ] Stopped at kdb_enter+0x2b: nop db> panic cpuid = 0 Uptime: 21h29m12s Physical memory: 501 MB Dumping 75 MB:Aborting dump due to I/O error. status == 0x58, scsi status == 0x0

I tried forcing a core dump on the LSI-1064 and LSI-1064E controller. It does not seem to work via the mpt driver. The core dump is set to go to the usual place, the swap partition. # mount /dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/da0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/da0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/da0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) No RAID setup, just normal SATA disk on PHY0, works fine except for core dump. Did a bit of debug checking: I see that interrupts are turned of when doing a core dump. This looks ok since I see there is polling routines registered, and I can see them being called also. The message with what it fails is: ------------------ snip --------------------- Aborting dump due to I/O error. status == 0x58, scsi status == 0x0 i/o error Rebooting... ------------------ snip --------------------- I added some debugging code and it looks like it calls mpt_intr lots of times, and also mpt_action, which is correct. After looping (or entering via polling) the mpt_intr routine multiple times, the bit MPI_ADDRESS_REPLY_A_BIT is set. The execution path in "mpt_scsi_reply_handler" changes from a "context only reply" to a call to do "mpt_scsi_reply_frame_handler". In this "mpt_scsi_reply_frame_handler" call the ioc_status = 0x4b which is: #define MPI_IOCSTATUS_SCSI_IOC_TERMINATED (0x004B) Any idea why this happens ?
