LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-4i hangs system at boot
Hi all
I finally got my LSI 9240-4i and the Intel SAS expander.
Unfortunately it prevents the system from booting. I only got this
message on the screen:
megasas: INIT adapter done
hub 4-1:1.0 over-current condition on port 7
hub 4-1:1.0 over-current condition on port 8
I also got the over-current messages when the LSI card is removed. Here's
the output of lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop
Laser
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Nevertheless I think the module for the card should be loaded but then it
somehow hangs.
And after a while there are more messages which I don't understand. I
have taken a picture:

Then there are lots of messages like this:
INFO: task modprobe:123 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0..." disables this message
Instead of modprobe:123 also modprobe:124, 125, 126, 127, 135, 137 and
kworker/u:1:164, 165 are listed.
I can enter the BIOS of the card just fine. It detect the disks and by
defaults sets jbod option for them. This is fine because I want to use
linux RAID.
May this problem be the same:

Should I try a firmware upgrade?
This card was recommended to me by the list:

I hope I can get some hints here :-)
Best regards
