Your mvsas port expander bug might be related to bug# 81861 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81861 Adam Talbot schreef op 13-04-15 om 17:11:
To make a very long debugging story short, I think there is an issues/bug with the mvsas driver. It works, with older kernels, and breaks on newer kernels. My Debian Jessie system was running great on a 3.18 kernel. Changed cases to a newer supermicro case with a SAS expander backplane (SAS933EL). That was the only hardware change. Now, when ever I boot, the system kernel panics. 3.2.65-1+deb7u2 works 3.9.0 Gentoo CD works 3.16+ all fail Attached are 3 kernel panics on 3.16+ kernels. Motherboard is a Supermicro X8SIE, with a "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6440 SAS/SATA PCIe controller" Is this a known bug? At this point I have two options: Stick with the old kernel (yuck) Buy a new card running a better supported chipset Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Adam
