Wondering if anyone out there has seen or has a fix for this problem...

On doing a mke2fs on /dev/md0 I get:

Kernel panic: Inactive in scsi_request_queueable
In swapper task - not syncing

Which of course completely locks the system.  I can reboot and rerun the
command and get the same results at a different point in the mke2fs run.
Sometimes I don't get the error.. I just get a complete system lock.  No
numlock key changing the light on the keyboard, etc.  Really wierd.

I've tried 3 different motherboards and I've swapped out a few different
drives on the scsi chain.. I've even tried different SCSI adapters.  Here's
the latest config:

Dual PII 350's.  
384 MB memory
Adaptect 2940 UW (Also tried the 2940 U2W)
7 hardfiles external, active terminated. (7 * 9 Gig UW drives)
Redhat 6.1 clean install --> no patches.
Different raidtab configs. 
All with the same result.

I've also tried:

Dual III 500's
256 MB memory
Adaptec 2940 U2W
(Same redhat drive and hardfiles from above)
Different raidtab configs...

The redhat drive is on the chain and is not raided.  The other 6 drives are
what I am trying to raid.

I'm guessing that it is something in the SCSI code somewhere. Although it
could be something stupid like the SCSI cable, etc.  I'm not ruling
anything out. ANY help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brandon!
