Hi all,
Has anyone seen this issue before? This afternoon, I tried updating a bare metal CentOS 6 box, and got some odd error messages on the console during booting kernel 2.6.32-754.11.1. (These aren't exact, I forgot to try to get a photo of the console.)
sd 0:0:4:0 timed out resetting card 3w-sas timed out resetting card
Then the boot would simply hang, with no obvious disk activity on the drives and no other messages on the console. Reverting back to an earlier kernel (2.6.32-431.17.1) was perfectly fine. (Obviously this is quite old hardware, but until today had never had problems.)
I noticed in the CentOS 6.10 changelog that 3w-sas has been deprecated, but that it should still be supported. And even if 3w-sas had been removed, I don't think that wouldn't explain timeouts on sd.
I have done a bunch of searches on the CentOS forums and on the web, but didn't find anything specific to this issue with various combinations of the error message keywords. If you have any pointers for me I would greatly appreciate it!
