Description of problem: kernel-2.6.8-1.541 seems to have some kind of memory corruption and kernel panics when raid5 is in use. My system has RAID1 for /, RAID1 for swap, and RAID5 for /home, across four disks. * Booting FC3test2 rescue mode, mounting the /mnt/sysimage raid shows lots of garbage on the screen. ls output shows corrupted looking filenames for anything that is colored. This is indicative of kernel induced memory corruption. * During normal operation running 541, there are random kernel panics. * Loopback mounting iso images on the raid5 array rapidly causes kernel panics. This issue is confirmed solved in 2.6.9-rc2-bk4+ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.8-1.541
This seems solved by 590+.
