Question
Everytime you reboot the server with the Supermicro X10SLM+-F and the Adaptec RAID 71605Q Controller installed in one of the PCIe slots, leads to an not functional RAID Controller BIOS. During a normal boot process the Adaptec RAID 71605Q controller begins to boot and initializes with blinking LEDs from left to right and back. During a reboot the controller just does nothing and the LEDs are all shining with no movement. After some time (it takes longer than a normal boot) the controller fails with the following message: --------- Press CrtlA for Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility! Booting the Controller Kernel...... Controller Monitor disabled or failed to start...! Controller not started Press any key to continue ... --------- I tested the following, but hat no success: - I put the controller into every PCIe port - I tried every PCIe Generation setting in the BIOS (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Auto) - I tried several PCIe Link Power Management / ASPM settings - I changed the PCIe card boot mode from Legacy to EFI (in legacy mode the controller hangs with the message above; in EFI mode it hangs during post action 92) Maybe the problem has to do with some kind of power management or the PCIe slots are not correctly resetted during reboot?
