Happy new year !
We have a SuperMicro server with a LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i controller.
Since Centos 6.6 update (kernel 2.6.32-504), the controller doesn't initialize at boot. Reverting to kernel 2.6.32-431 allows server to boot fine.
I have a similar system, and don't have your problem:
# uname -rv 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 01:55:02 UTC 2014 # dmesg | grep LSI scsi4 : LSI SAS based MegaRAID driver scsi 4:2:0:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9260-4i 2.13 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Copyright (c) 1999-2008 LSI Corporation # dmesg | grep Supermicro DMI: Supermicro X8DTU/X8DTU, BIOS 2.1b 12/30/2011
The server can't boot due to a bug in LSI megaraid module. Boot log ends by a lot of lines:
RESET_GEN2: retry=xxx, hostdiag=a4
I tried Centos 6.6 install disk and it also fails to find disks but Centos 7 install disk boot fine.
It's annoying to be stuck at 2.6.32-431 kernel and I have no idea how to solve this issue :-(
Thanks for any help.
