Today I wanted to give 2.6.0 a try on my fileserver. It's got a software raid (md - no evms) with 11*120GB IDE. When I tried to start it (raidstart /dev/md0) my system crashed badly. It didnt react to anything but magic sysreq. The last thing I could see was an (incomplete) stack trace. Incomplete beacause scrollback didn't work anymore. It looks like the crashes didn't trash my data or raid headers. I can reproduce the bug - it happens everytime when I try to start my raid. I already tried to disable DMA - didn't help. The system worked fine for over a year with 2.4.x kernels. Currently I run 2.4.22_pre2-gss (a gentoo flavour). I am willing to help anyone who wants to fix this as good as I can. This includes giving informations, testing, etc... just contact me. If there's a better place than this list for posting this report, please tell me.
