This is almost identical to my earlier report, but it happened under
slightly different circumstances. I've trimmed the dmesg log this
time. I'm happy to provide more information if required, or test
different kernels or patches... (I'm about to try the latest bk
snapshot, in fact...)
My /dev/md0 is a RAID5 with 5 devices: 4 drives on a Promise controller
plus a partition on /dev/hda.
I booted test5-mm4 with the Promise controller temporarily removed from
the machine. I expected the RAID startup to fail of course, but I
didn't expect a kernel oops & panic.
The built-in RAID code autodetected the one remaining RAID partition on
hda, and attempted to start reconstruction... kaboom!
