mlx(4) fully and ep(4) partially broken on 6.0

[Oliver Lehmann]

Hi,

after a <1sec power outage caused by a tempest some of my systems decided
to reboot. One of the systems was my freshly updated (5.4->6.0) router.


1st problem with 6.0:
---------------------

The system kept rebooting automaticly after it detected ep0. It was
saying sth. like "ep0: no irq?!". The funny thing is, one line above it
wrote sth. like "ep0 <3COM....> irq 9 ....". for me that looks like ep0
has of course an irq assigned.

I am happy that I have physical access to this system! Damn!

I changed the perfectly-on-5.4 working 3com card with an other I had
on storage - panic is gone now.


2nd problem with 6.0:
---------------------

The system nicely detects my mlx Controller:

mlx0: <Mylex version 3 RAID interface> port 0xec00-0xec7f mem
0xffafff80-0xffafffff irq 11 at device 17.0 on pci0
mlx0: DAC960P/PD, 2 channels, firmware 3.51-0-04, 16MB RAM

but no disk (mlxd0) which means no disk over all for this system!
*sigh* - I'm out of luck today

So I took an old hdd with 4.11 installed, booted the system with it,
mounted the well detected mlx-disk, compiled 6.0-GENERIC on an 6.0 system,
transfered the GENERIC kernel via nfs to my mlxd0a:/boot/kernel, rebooted
 - nice still no mlxd0 on 6.0 - so I'm not able to mount root with 6.0

And once more... I'm happy that I have physical access to this system.

For all that I lost 3.5hrs and I'm not really amused about this. I saw no
other way then restoring the backup I made last sunday to get my router
back working. DAT is great when it comes to speed. :(

on my restored 5.4 system it looks like:
mlxd0: <Mylex System Drive> on mlx0
mlxd0: 2150MB (4403200 sectors) RAID 1 (online)
root at gurke olivleh1> mlxcontrol config
# Controller <INSERT DETAILS HERE>
#
# Physical devices connected:
# disk0000  (online)     
#    <IDENTIFY FAILED> 2150MB  fast wide sync tag-enabled
# disk0100  (online)     
#    <IDENTIFY FAILED> 2150MB  fast wide sync tag-enabled
#
# System Drives defined:
drive00 RAID1 writethrough
  span0 0x00000000-0x00433000 2150MB on disk0000 disk0100
root at gurke olivleh1> 


Please please someone should fix both issues until 6.0 gets released.
If any further help (testing, informations) is required from my side
please let me know.
I've a 2nd mlx controller (but 2.73 BIOS) I can probably try with in a
different system.

    Greetings, Oliver
