megasr message

Hi,

New to Linux and have just installed RHEL 4(no virtualization) on an Intel S5000vxn board with RAID 5 using the Intel Embedded RAID II

The system boots up fine however at times, when it shuts down, I get the message

"megasr(achi): Interface non-fatal error status interrupt received ignoring, port=1,pxIS=0x4000000"

that keeps repeating on the screen. Instead of shutting down/powering off automatically, I have to press the on/off or reset button.

However, once I press the reset button (without powering off), the system then can't find the raid array. I have to power off the system, and when it boots up, it will find the array again.

Any ideas?..driver issues or it is a hardware issue?

thanks
Simon

Please don't double-post the same question. This is a duplicate.

megasr is the driver for a LSI SAS Software RAID controller..

if intel doesn't have an updated driver check out LSI's website. Since they are the ones that actually write that driver..
