cross posted due to the severity of this issue.
I have killed two Dell 1850 (x86_64) with megaraid 4e/SI servers using
kernel 2.6.11.7. When the system boots, it looks like it does not see the
megaraid controller (because it never prints anything about it) and hangs
when it tries to mount root. When rebooted, the system says no firmware
present for embedded raid controller. I then try to flash it, the flash
program says the firmware is corrupt and flashes the controller. However,
upon reboot I still get the no firmware present, thus the machine can no
longer boot off the raid.
Not good. There were no megaraid changes in the -stable series. What's
the last kernel.org kernel that worked for you?
Any news on this matter?
I hvr a PE1850 waiting for kernel upgrade, but I'm afraid to do so now...
I can't break my box with tests since it's in active use...
For now I'm running a 2.6.8.1 based kernel on the box...
