It worked when I turned off ioapic and/or acpi. When acpi was
disabled, mpt seemed to work but em did not work due to the UP/DOWN
storm ("vmstat -i" did not display an irq for em0 at that time).
When ioapic was disabled, all devices worked with shared irqs.
So, this is probably an ioapic's issue, not a mpt's, and PDSME
specific I guess. Sorry for the false alarm.
John, are there any big changes of ioapic support between RELENG_6
and CURRENT? I would like your comments to narrow down the cause.
The 7.0-CURRENT November snapshot could probe the mpt (as a very slow
device, though), and both em and mpt worked with acpi/ioapic enabled.
I had a look at the changes in sys/i386/i386, but I am not sure
if which is likely (or not)...

No difference when I tried, but it seems not a mpt problem as I wrote
above. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

I see. BTW, I confirmed that mpt worked on the November snapshot
except the data transfer rate was 6.6MB/s. Is it worth trying the
latest current?
