I got a picture of the failed boot at

The PCI-MSI line is probably indicative. Can you try booting with:

mptbase.mpt_msi_enable_sas=0

and also send us an lspci -v so we can update the blacklist?

is that disabling SAS for this system? if so, that's the wrong thing
to do
(the drives are SAS)

it only disable MSI with that mptsas.
and mptsas will use ioapic routing.

can you post whole bootlog?

unfortunantly it's booting from CD and the only drives in the
system are
the ones that are not being accessed.

i mean with kernel before 2.6.24..

Ok, attached.


so your lsi 1068 is under 8132... need to double check if that chip
really support MSI.

anything I can do in the 2.6.24 kernel? or the 2.8.28.6 kernel?

for 2.6.24, it disable msi by default.

for 2.6.28 please have
mptbase.mpt_msi_enable=0
in your boot command line.

this does let it boot.
