Hi,

I've been trying to get an AOC-SASLP-MV8 card (pcie x4 2 port SAS card) to 
work with linux for the past month or so. I've recently just RMAed my first 
card, and tested the new one under linux, and I see the same problems.

The very first time I made a new array off the controller, formated (with xfs) 
and mounted the volume, it seemed to work. ioozone even seemed to run for a 
while. Sadly after a few minutes I got a stream of mvs_abort_task messages in 
dmesg, and any accesses to the volume, or any disks connected to the 
controller lock up.

After that I updated my 2.6.31 kernel to 2.6.32-rc3-git2 off of kernel.org, 
and the volume fails to mount with the same mvs_abort_task messages.

I've attached my dmesg log from both attempts. dmesg1 is the first attempt, 
dmesg2 is the second attempt on the newer kernel.

I would really appreciate some help with this.
