Description of problem: spinlock panic Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 How reproducible: on reboot every now and then I can tell you exactly whats happening Observe the two attached images one shows the panic and the other is a screenshot of the code involved notice the two spin_lock_irqsave()'s Whats happening is simple, when there is a reset of the drive it invokes a restore of timings. This is part of auto tuning, so it is obvious you get a double lock down, hence the spinlock crash. Phil =--=

Incidentally this arises from the mainline 2.6.11 kernel source and isn't the result of any patchs that are added to the kernel by RHAT Phil =--=
Umm yes. Does the attachment I'll add fix it ?
