Debian Squeeze (in general 2.6.32 based) comes with open-iscsi

user-space. But there were lots of iSER connection aborts (and even
log-outs) after only 5s connection loss instead of 120s
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout.
Btw.: We need such a new kernel because of some cool virtualization,
cgroups and performance features.
Beep(2), so your system has distro which is based on kernel 2.6.32 and
iscsi initiator tools version 2.0.871 and per your needs, you've booted
it with kernel 3.0 .
At this point should you have stop and make sure that this combo works,
iscsi wise (simpler to test iscsi/tcp... no need in rdma knowledge), did
you do this validation?
If this combo isn't working, you have to update the iscsi tools to a
version which supports your kernel.
If this combo is working iscsi/tcp wise but not ib_iser wise, its seems
to be a bug, and I'd be happy to help with finding the root cause, etc.
But this way or another, OFA isn't an iscsi tools factory, nor have
anyone that can/want to support iscsi tools, we (folks from the rdma
vendors community that deal with iscsi) are working with the upstream
iscsi maintainer to address iscsi issues. The fact that OFA ships iscsi
code except for ib_iser/cxgb4i/etc modules is a bug, BTW, I'll act to
change that.
Or.
