I've an LSI Logic MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 card. The exact name from the /proc/pci is `RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller 4 (rev 1)' the PCI ID of this device is 0x1960. I ran into a problem with the new megaraid2 driver:

Vendor: MegaRAID Model: LD0 RAID5 70006R Rev: 1L19

                                                   ^^^^

latest release 1L26 fixed a lot of bugs.
For SCSI and RAID storage boards is *very important* to run with latest firmware.

Thanks for the quick answer, I'll flash the new firmware ASAP.

Is that possible that only the new driver triggers the problem which is "built-in" in the firmware, while using the old driver everything seems to be OK?

1.18k and 2.00.9 are very different drivers.

It looks like the firmware of the board is unable to complete some commands of the pending list.

megaraid: aborting-4027815 cmd=2a <c=0 t=0 l=0>
megarid: Waiting for 11 commands to flush: iter:0
megarid: Waiting for 11 commands to flush: iter:1000
megarid: Waiting for 11 commands to flush: iter:2000
megaraid: aborted cmd 3d75a7[76] complete.
megarid: Waiting for 8 commands to flush: iter:3000 [... 4000, 5000, 6000, ... 59000]
megarid: Waiting for 8 commands to flush: iter:60000
megaraid: critical hardware error!

If those command were completed you would see the message:
"megaraid: abort sequence successfully complete".

So, try latest firmware.

Thank you, that solved the problem.

for the archive, this combination is running now:

adapter: LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-1
megaraid2 driver v2.00.9
firmware 1L26:G112.
