Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

The cciss driver causes a kernel panic when a mkfs.ufs command is used
to format a LVM logical volume as a UFS filesystem.

The logical volume is within a volume group based on a software raid (MD 
raid1) disk for which the physical disk is a partition on a HP SB40c 
storage blade.

We have verified that the problem does not occur when the physical disk
is a partition on a SAN attached array (tested with MSA1000 and EVA 
4100 arrays).
