Today I upgraded an AMD64 server from FreeBSD 6.4 to 7-STABLE and got a big

Not sure if its a firmware issue or not, but I am running an AMD64 RELENG_7 kernel from Apr 23 and its works fine. The DV1 error seems "normal" in that I get it as well. I dont boot off the controller, so not sure if thats part of the issue or not.

I did an firmware update after I encountered the issue the first time.
Before it was V1.43. Exactly the same behavior.

And yes, I do have to boot off the RAID. After the run_interrupt_driven_hooks
everything hangs and no daX drives are ever detected.  You don't seem to get
this particular error.
