Jeff and I realized that this only happens on Xeon processors where the 
model number is > 2.  None of my model 2 Xeon hosts crash, but my model 
3 and model 4 xeons do.  grep model /proc/cpuinfo for info.  I've had 
skas3-v4 and skas3-v8.2 generate the same panic, so it's something 
processor model specific.

Peter, can you verify the problems you've had are on hosts with a model 
3 or 4 Xeon processor?  Also, with regard to 2.6.12, I'm not sure we're 
looking at the same issue, as I had problems with that kernel too but 
wasn't able to verify it was the same panic.  I have had 2.6.13 working, 
and it does generate the same SKAS panic eventually.

Thanks,
-Chris
