Package: kernel

With newer kernels, my system hangs as soon as "serious" disk activity
happens (like a "find /" or the daily backup script).

Problem does _not_ happen with 2.6.5, which ran stable uninterrupted
for 31 weeks.
Problem _does_ happen with kernel compiled from kernel-source
2.6.9-2.

The machine is an AMD64 Opteron machine, with Promise SATA controller
and RAID array of two disks. The kernels are 64bit kernels compiled in
a 64bit chroot.

It is a very hard hang: Magic SysRQ key is not responding any more.

Just before the hang, I get on the console, e.g.:

-------------------------- Begin console msg --------------------
ata1: command timeout

CPU0: Machine Check Exception      4 Bank 4b200000000070F0F
TSC 67743769F7

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report.  Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny.
If this issue is still present, let me know.

Thanks.
