Compaq Smart Array 4200 controller question

[Andrew Heyn]

Hi,

I got a 6-CURRENT kernel so I could show you the messages it creates when it
times out.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem very useful, but here it is:

ida0: ida_timeout() qactive 1
ida0: IDA_INTERRUPTS
ida0:		R_CMD_FIFO: 00000000
		R_DONE_FIFO:00000000
		R_INT_MASK: 00000000
		R_STATUS:	00000000
		R_INT_PENDING

Sometimes I get "soft read error" before the
messages above.

ida0: <Compaq Integrated Array controller> port 0x2400-0x24ff mem
0xf5000000-0xf5ffffff,0xf6000000-0xf6ffffff irq 24 at device 14.0 on pci0

The change to report the error was added recently but I don't see how
reporting errors could cause your problem.

I suspect the firmware on the controller is locking up.  Code in -CURRENT
will perform a register dump on command timeout, which is the usual
indicator of a lockup.

I'd go looking for the latest firmware for your controller.
