SSTK Image Does Not Boot and LSI Driver Loops The LSI controller driver does not respond to hardware failures correctly. The SSTK image does not boot and the LSI driver remains in a loop displaying messages similar to the following: target5:0:8: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back target2:0:0: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back target2:0:0: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back target5:0:8: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back This is an issue with the SCSI MPT-Fusion controller driver that is produced by an improper or defective device. The issue was observed on a LSI1030 that had an Ultra160 disk device improperly configured to at an Ultra320 speed. The problem was corrected by using the EFI driver configuration tool to set the maximum transfer rate to 160Mb/s, which is the speed that the device operates properly . efibootmgr Utility Issues 85
