Today's next failed to boot on my 4 way x86_64 box because
of mptbase driver initialization failure.

Snippet of messages during boot :

Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.14
mptsas 0000:03:04.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; probably buggy MP table
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup
ioc0: LSISAS1064 A3: Capabilities={Initiator}
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x2, action 0
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x1, action 0
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!

Eventually machine fails to boot. I have similar problem on
a x86 box but with IPS driver. So might not be a driver specific
issue. 

I had similar problem with yesterday's next.IIRC the last successful boot was with next-20100203.

Have attached the boot log from x86_64 box.

Thanks
