If at all possible try to get a good dmesg capture of a new kernel, you might want to explore using netconsole to log via UDP to a remote system. Chances are good it's just some chipset/driver issue; I remember having problems with a lack of timer for some boards; either forcing it to use the older style timer or using a patched bios which properly setup the HPET (timer) resolved the issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
