Issues with SuperMicro SuperServer 6011D System.

[jeev]

Hey guys, I've got a bunch of these:
http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6011D.htm

I currently am trying to get 2 of them working, I've tested them all though.

I have put 4.7 4.8 5.0 and upgraded and im still having issues.

this server is currently have major problems. First I was coming up with.

These were some of the errors I grabbed.

I especially got these lately. Not the top one.

these are just snippets by the way.

I am not sure what to do. I have looked at the supermicro page and found
this.

http://www.supermicro.com/TECHSUPPORT/FAQs/SCSI_FAQ.htm

Questions: New system BIOS with  SCSI BIOS 3.10S2 causing LINUX installation
hang at the blue screen  with aic7xx....or SCSI multifunction 
 

Answer : Download this SEEPROM from here and follow the steps to reload SCSI
EEPROM to default if using older SCSI bios and upgrade to SCSI BIOS 3.10S2

After having the guy at the datacenter put it on, it was no use.  Reboots
usually take about 10-20 minutes, usually goes to FSCK, not sure how it
breaks.

He tells me they hang at:

da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun0
da0: <Seagate ST336607lc 0004> Fixed direct access SCSI -3 device
da0: 160MB/s tranfers (80mhz, offset 63, 16 bit), tagging queueing enabled
da0: 35993 mb 971687372 512 byte sectors: 255h 63s/t 4462c)

anybody have a workaround? Fix for this issue? If a developer would like to
get access to the box, I may be fine with that if they could create a patch
for the freebsd community, please notify me. Thanks.
