Hello.
First of all, my apologies for long message.

Some time ago I wrote and ask you about LSI controller.

And now I'm in trouble... Crrr.. :-(

Actually, now I have brand Intel machine on SE7520JR2SCSID1 with
2x2800 MHz Xeon and 2x36 Gb SCSI drives (full dmesg from bsd.mp
below). There is backplane on this machine and integrated 53C1030
controller. Additionally, there is some kind of software, and on "BIOS
stage" it provide ability to configure SCSI controller (with very poor
functionality). It allow something like
....
Disable RAID Yes/No
....
and, with RAID "Yes", allow construct mirror (and HotSpare).


The MAIN problem is that OpenBSD can't work with "Disable RAID YES"!
(without RAID). First I thought that get 2 "raw" SCSI disks and do
what I want. But at install stage I seen something like
....
mpt0: command timeout
probe(mpt0:6:0): mpt0: timeout on request index = 0xfe, seq = 0x0000007a
mpt0: Status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x24000000
mpt0: request state: On Chip
mpt0: command timeout
probe(mpt0:6:0): mpt0: timeout on request index = 0xfe, seq = 0x0000007b
mpt0: Status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x24000000
mpt0: request state: On Chip
mpt0: command timeout
probe(mpt0:6:0): mpt0: timeout on request index = 0xfe, seq = 0x0000007c
mpt0: Status 0x00000000, Mask 0x00000001, Doorbell 0x24000000
mpt0: request state: On Chip
....
And so on to mpt0:15:0 and again from mpt0:1:0. Can't install.


When I set "Disable RAID NO" and build RAID Array (mirror), I got
something like
....

and install system. But disks I/O is EXTREMELY SLOW!!! The 20Gb part
were something about 4-5 minutes in 'newfs' while installation.
'cp' src.tar.gz, 100Mb, from one partition to another (/home -> /usr)
is about 1,5-2 minutes. Led on 1st disk blinking with approximately
5 Hz, while on 2nd - not blinking.

At last, I install Windows 2k3S, and I/O speed gets very fast. So,
there is no hardrware breakings.

Help! What is it!? Where I wrong, what can I do?
