repeatable Oops in 2.0.30 when trying to mdrun -a with the following mdtab:
# mdtab entry for /dev/md0
/dev/md0 raid0,8k,0,93208c8c /dev/sde /dev/sdg

sde and sdg are 4gig drives (approx)
SCSI device sde: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8813920 [4303 MB] [4.3 GB]
SCSI device sdg: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8813870 [4303 MB] [4.3 GB]

scsi0: Target 4, channel A, now synchronous at 10.0MHz, offset 15.
Vendor: Quantum Model: XP34300W Rev: L915
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sde at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
scsi1: Target 3, channel A, now synchronous at 10.0MHz, offset 15.
Vendor: IBM Model: XP34300W !z Rev: 81K7
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sdg at scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0

Unfortunatly, it hard locks so nothing is syslogged. Binutils 2.8.0.3
gcc version 2.7.2.1

I'll have to wait till this weekend to crash it again, as there are
usually 10-15 people reading news at any one time.
