Hmm, did you try the patch I had posted from that earlier thread? It had
two changes in it, one was similar to the patch in the PR, the second added
MSI-X support. I've since tweaked it to make the MSI-X support off by
default but possible to enable via loader.conf. Would you be willing to
try the updated patch at www.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/mfi.patch?
Hi,
yes I tried the patch you posted originally, unfortunately the dell
never finished booting either. The Supermicro is now in production but
I'll take the dell up to 9-STABLE and try your updated patch.
The patch didnt apply quite cleanly for 9-STABLE, 1 reject as it had
already been applied.
Odd, it's against stock head, so I don't know why it would have failed to
apply.
I have rebooted the dell and it seems happy with the new patch (msi
disabled.)
Okay, good. I'll commit the non-MSI bits at least and get them merged into
9.0 if possible.
Booting with
hw.mfi.msix=1 in /boot/loader.conf causes the timeouts again and stops
the boot from completing.
Ok. Can you try changing it to use MSI instead of MSI-X? Just edit the
mfi_pci.c call and replace 'pci_alloc_msix' with 'pci_alloc_msi'.
Well the dell has been up for about 19 hours now using MSI, I ran
bonnie++ a few times on it and have now stuck it in a permanent loop
(will look in from time to time.) Are there any tests you'd like
run/info you'd like?
Vince
