raid5, 2 drives dead at same time,kernel will Oops?

["3tcdgwg3" <3tcdgwg3@prodigy.net>]

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a case that two drives
in an array fail ad same time.
I use two ide drives, I try to create a 
raid 5 array with 4 arms, created as following:

/dev/hdc1
/dev/hde1
/dev/hdc2
/dev/hde2

This is just for test, I know create two arms on
one hard drive doesn't make much sense.


Anyway, when I run this array, if I power off one
of hard drive (/dev/hde) to simulate two arms failing 
at same  time in an array, I got system Oops. I am using
2.4-18 kernel.

Anyone can tell me if this is normal? or if there is a fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

Here are the output:
