i can confirm this. i also run into this problem while upgrading the
kernel. but let me explane. 

my fileserver is running fedora-core 2 + loopAES on a hardware raid5
(3ware 7506-4LP). this box worked like a charm until i upgraded to the
latest fedora-kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 (of course custom with loopAES
2.1c as a module). there where _no_ errors in the past. i am running
this for 1 year now starting with something like 2.4.13 and loopAES
1.6X.

last kernel before the error occured: 2.6.6-1.435.2.3custom with
loopAES 2.1b and loopAES 2.1c (running fine for weeks)

then with 2.6.7-1.494.2.2custom:

both errors were easy to repair but i switched back to the "old"
kernel because i like my data:). again no problems. 

i have no idea how to reproduce/force this error, it was very rare (2
times in 3 days.) 


DG> Any ideas?

i also have no idea.



best regards,
