I just ran into this bug and it almost cost me data with feisty latest!
For some reason when the forcedeth ethernet adapter locked up, it also
locked up two out of six of my sata ports (I'm presuming because of some
PCI bus issue).  Luckily it was raid6, so the array is still functional,
but it could have been a disaster if it was raid5.  Similar situation to
above - I was copying a bunch of large media files over to another
machine over gigabit NFS (and being pleasantly surprised at the 70+MB/s
I was seeing without jumbo frames or any real tuning before it locked
up).

Will the max_interrupt_work=20 get rid of the problem or just mask it
and how is the best way to configure this fix on Feisty?  I don't want
this to happen again as rebuilding the whole 3+TB array is a very time
consuming operation.

I've attached my dmesg, syslog and lspci -vvn output.  The syslog items of 
interest that show what happened and in what order start around 10:33:57.
Hope someone comes up with a fix - I can try it on Gutsy although the last 
daily build I downloaded wouldn't even boot.  When is Tribe-6 or another pseudo 
tested build going to come out?
