Hi, I am setting up a new Dell T610 server with 8 WD Black Caviar sata3 1TB disks on a LSISAS2008 controller: Oct 21 09:12:37 grml kernel: [ 83.377388] mpt2sas0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(02.1 5.63.00), ChipRevision(0x02), BiosVersion(07.01.09.00) My layout is as follows: - small un-encrypted raid1 boot partition on /dev/md0 - dm-crypt main partition on /dev/md1 (actuallly /dev/mapper/cmd1) A recent grml64 is used to create the partitions, install the system and run lilo. When running lilo I get these errors from the controller: Oct 21 08:57:11 grml kernel: [40832.015207] mpt2sas0: fault_state(0x265d)! Oct 21 08:57:11 grml kernel: [40832.015210] mpt2sas0: sending diag reset !!

Oct 21 08:57:20 grml kernel: [40840.361587] <1>md/raid:md1: Operation continuing on 0 devices. But on another attempt /dev/md0 was stopped as well. Any suggestion on fixing that problem would be welcome. I can send more complete logs.
