------- Comment #5 from cshore@fionavar.ca  2008-08-31 22:37 -------
Using a second adaptor card and moving the non-RAID devices off the megaraid
controller solved the panic.  It appears the problem is the non-RAID devices
and may be related the the bug for which there is a patch for newer CERC
firmware (sorry don't have the post url, it was on this list) which deals with
an error in the way the devices are enumerated.

This controller is a Dell PERC3/DCL and has the following BIOS/firmware
revision info:

on boot screen BIOS is listed as 3.35 May 7,2004
Standard Firmware is listed as 199D

in the setup screen, it shows
PERC/CERC BIOS Configuration Utility U827

lspci -vvv gives:
