LSI Logic SAS based MegaRAID. HDD not seing.
 

Hi all,

At first I try install Fedora Core 8.
At boot it load megaraid_sas(success I think, see log on F4). then try to load pata_amd(not loaded and frizen).
On F4 screen write:
load pata_amd ....... versionn of driver on so on
megasas: 00.00.03.05-rc5 Mon Oct 02 11:21:32 PDT 2006

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:03.0[A] -> Link [LNEC] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
megasas: FW now in Ready state
scsi 0:0:0:0: megasas: RESET -1 cmd=12

megasas: [ 5]waiting for 1 commands to complete

megasas: [180]waiting for 1 commands to complete
megasas: cannot recover from previous reset failures
scsi 0:0:67:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery

and frizen.............



then I boot from gentoo Live CD, it boot but problems are begining after boot.

server configuration
Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2212
2 x Hitachi 500Gb HDT725050VLA360

At boot time I configure raid contoller
to use two HDD like RAID1.
I try boot from Gentoo Linux Minimal Installation CD for amd64.
Driver for raid is loaded.
dmesg

but not see any HDD.

I try to connect to another computer without RAID controller HDDs are working

I try to create equal disk partition (on another computer). reboot.
problem not solved.

Try create RAID0 at boot time. Problem not solved.

at some time after boot on console I see
error like this:

scsi0 : LSI Logic SAS based MegaRAID driver

megasas: [ 0]waiting for 1 commands to complete
megasas: [ 5]waiting for 1 commands to complete
megasas: [10]waiting for 1 commands to complete

after this:
