mfi0 timeout error

I have googled around for a solution and I see a lot of posts about
firmware versions and patches for FreeBSD 8.*.
I have a FreeBSD 9.1rc1 system, which was beta1 orginally and has been
running for months.
Now it will not boot, I get the following:
"Trying to mount root from zfs:tank/root [].....
mfi0: COMMAND 0Xffffff8000cb83530 TIMEOUT AFTER xxx SECONDS
(this just repeats).
I have not seen this error before during normal runtime, _only_ during boot.
Originally when I had the problem I could boot off a USB stick (9.1beta1
or rc1), run a 'zpool import -f tank' and it would work on the livecd.
Rebooting and the main system would work.
This time this work around does not work for me. When I am on the USB
stick I can run a 'zpool import' and all of the disk are recognised, the
pool is recognised and the file system is healthy.
The Card is a H700 PERC, with 12.10.3 firmware in a Dell R515.
Running FreeBSD 9.1-RC1, latest zfs and zpool versions.
I have tried disabling the cache (mfiutil cache xxx disable). I have
also gone into the Card settings and changed under advanced settings
"adaptive forward read" to "read only".
Any help, appreciated.
Thanks
