(Sorry sent again, since I used the wrong lsi developer list. Also forgot to say this is with 2.6.22). Hi, I complained about this before, but always got ignored. Please not this time. I can presently reliably reproduce it as often as I want. Pretty please, I can't keep this state forever, since the system is presently going into production. As far as I can remotely see, IOC0 and IOC1 are on the same dualport LSI22320 card. The device on IOC0 is probably not properly connected, probably a cable problem. When I just tried to add the device on IOC0, the device on IOC1 got a domain validation command. Presently both devices are idle otherwise. On IOC0 there is 2:0:4:0 and on IOC1 there is 3:0:13:0 and 3:0:14:0. pfs1n14-m:~# /tmp/scsiadd -a 2 0 4 0 [ 2595.405276] scsi 2:0:4:0: Activating scsi error recovery [ 2595.405711] mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x11010400): F/W: bug!

Some hints for further debugging should be suffienct for now.
