SATA Promise TX4 Crash

[Neil Whelchel]

Hello,
I have two Promise SATA TX4 cards connected to a total of 6 Maxtor 250 GB
drives (7Y250M0) configured into a RAID 5. All works well with small
disk load, but when a large number of requests are issued, it causes crash
similar to the attached, except that the errors before the crash are on a
different drive nearly every time. I have tried several different
motherboards with both Nvidia and Via chipsets, with Athlon and K6
CPUs, and the crash remains the same. I have also seen the same crash
with both a preemptable and a non-preemptable kernel, with kernel
versions 2.6.9, 2.6.10, 2.6.11, and 2.6.11.2 (this one).
Any suggestions, or is this a bug?
