This problem still persists in Saucy using latest LSI firmware (10.00.00.07, bios 07.31.00.00),
although it's not as bad as it used to be - it doesn't crash within hours anymore but rather weeks
(although a few times twice within a few hours). But when it crashes it crashes hard - all disks
on the controller freeze (I can only see syslog entries before the crash by directing syslog to
another machine).

So, it's still too bad to allow using smartd or hddtemp in mission-
critical machines.

Title:
  mpt2sas driver is unusable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have a Supermicro computer with integrated LSI raid controller.

  I tried many version of kernel and driver with no success.

  All of them give me at least this error message:

  [  272.434551] scsi target6:1:0: volume handle(0x0143), volume wwid(0x095379ae0ead6e88)
  [  272.434557] sd 6:1:0:0: task abort: FAILED scmd(ffff88100da5ce00)

  The newest version (11.00) makes a kernel panic and oops. Unfortunately I have no null modem cable, to grab the oops message through serial console.

  
  I tried with the following scenarios (all amd64):

  Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32: this error message
  Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) beta: 3.2.0: this error message
  Ubuntu 10.04 backported kernel 2.6.38: this error message

  Ubuntu 10.04 backported kernel 2.6.38 + driver from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/LSI/2008/IR/Driver/Linux/PH11-00.00/: kernel panic at boottime
  Scientific Linux 6.1: kernel panic at install boot time (some weird apic function, probably not related)
  Scientific Linux 6.1 with noapic kernel parameter: just hang up
  Scientific Linux 5.7: this error message at install time, no hangup, but mkfs was not success after an hour
