Sachin,

This may be related to something specific to your system's APIC/or bad HW rather than pure driver issue.
Below line from log is important to note.
"mptsas 0000:03:04.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; probably buggy MP table"

It means LSI controller is not able to reserve IRQ line and that is where all problem starts.
Need to broaden the scope of the issue.

Another confusing thing to me.
I have seen "probably buggy MP table" print only in arch/x86, but you have mentioned that in your case arch is x86_64.

Thanks,
Kashyap
This actually was because of some other problem.

Here is the post for it.

Which was eventually fixed. Patch is available here.

Subject: [-next Feb 9] Boot failure on x86_64: mptbase fails to
initialize

Today's next failed to boot on my 4 way x86_64 box because of mptbase
driver initialization failure.

Snippet of messages during boot :

Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.14
mptsas 0000:03:04.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; probably buggy MP
table
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup
ioc0: LSISAS1064 A3: Capabilities={Initiator}
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x2,
action 0
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x1,
action 0
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!

Eventually machine fails to boot. I have similar problem on a x86 box
but with IPS driver. So might not be a driver specific issue.

I had similar problem with yesterday's next.IIRC the last successful
boot was with next-20100203.

Have attached the boot log from x86_64 box.

Thanks
