the only hint I could find is from the amr(4) man page:
amr%d: bad slot %d completed
The controller reported completion of a command that the driver did not issue. This may result in data corruption, and suggests a hardware or firmware problem with the system or controller.
Do you have a second controller available to test? We have the same controllers in several of our servers and I would interested to find out what is the problem just in case..
Unfortunately it's the only controller I have so I can't test it with an other controller.
It looks a bit strange that it could be a hardware or firmware problem because the system is brand new. But does this mean I should update my firmware to a newer version?
Since you don't seem to have any problems with FreeBSD on this controller I'm also interested in your configuration. Did you do anything special in the BIOS of the controller or something?
Looks like I've found the problem.
I reinstalled everything, including the RAID arrays on the SCSI controller. The first time I changed the read and write policies in the BIOS console and it seems that wasn't a very good idea. Now I didn't change them, and all seems to run fine now.
So I'm glad that the hardware is ok and I don't have to upgrade the firmware.
Marco
