Hey,

Stumbled across this bug via goole when diagnosing my own similar issue.
Looks like your firmware and OS driver are mismatched:

> mps0: Firmware: 20.00.00.00, Driver: 19.00.00.00-fbsd


This can cause problems -- Infolink:

I ran into this with an LSI 9200-16e that I flashed to the latest firmware,
while running FreeBSD 9.2. Downgrading firmware fixed the errors and timeouts
for me.


To downgrade the firmware on the card, do the following:

1) download the P19 firmware/bios update package for your card @
http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/Host%20Bus%20Adapters/Host%20Bus%20Adapters%20Common%20Files/SAS_SATA_6G_P19/9211-4i_Package_P19_IR_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip


2) create a FreeDOS boot disk (USB/Flash), and put the Following files from the
P19 zipfile on the boot disk:

\firmware\HBA_9211_4i_IT\2114it.bin
\sas2flash_dos_rel\sas2flsh.exe
\sasbios_rel\mptsas2.rom


3) boot up your FreeDOS boot disk, and select safe mode (no himem or emm)


4) erase the existing firmware/bios package by running

sas2flsh -o -e 6

***DO NOT REBOOT AFTER DOING THIS, YOU CAN BRICK YOUR HBA***

5) flash firmware and bios to card

sas2flsh -o -f 2114it.bin -b mpt2sas.rom

You can now reboot and you should have the card working without errors.
