Does this help you to find out more?

Download the driver for the 9.3.0.4 driver set for "Linux 2.6 (for
supported distros)".  That'll get you the source for 2.26.04.009.

Hi!

ok, I tried 2.26.04.009 from "Linux 2.6 (for supported distros)".
The mkfs.ext3 advanced a little bit further than before, but still I got
my kernel dump. :-|
Moreover I've got a warning about a 'struct device_driver shutdown method'.

Any more hints?
Would there be another approach, e.g. to apply somehow the xen patches
to the centos / upstream kernel and use that one?

Have you tried updating the firmware on the card/trying the latest kernel/etc?

Using new driver w/ an old-firmware is not a good idea.

Justin.
