we have a new Intel-hardware box that is having problems with the gdth driver (or so it seems). This is a machine that has 6gb of ram (breaking the 4GB boundary MAY have something to do with it..) and an srcu-31 hardware raid controller (2x2 mirror) Things work fine except for two things: Modprobe fails when loading the system (boot extract below), and the system has an OOPS when shutting down the filesystems. 1) when booting, I see the message: May 20 18:54:05 virtual kernel: Linux IP multicast router 0.06 plus PIM-SM May 20 18:54:05 virtual kernel: NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
