If there's a fault with the FC boards, then certainly they should have MSI disabled. The motherboard was my suspicion ... especially as older ones have SPI and newer ones have SAS (and the older ones are most likely to have MSI faults). However, I think you can see from our point of view that if the problem is the motherboard, disabling MSI in the fusion is the wrong way to fix it. If we do it this way, we'll promptly get another slew of nasty bug reports for the next driver that enables MSI and doesn't work on this platform > But we would like to keep the MSI disabled for SPI controllers since > we have not tested internally with MSI and FC enabled by default for > them in our recent drivers. > So I would like to request to pull in the patch to disable MSI for SPI & FC. Yes, we'll do that ... I'll also see if the PCI maintainer can determine the information needed to blacklist the motherboards so that we don't get this all over again with them and a different driver.
