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). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- Other Information The problem has been reproduced with both the 32bit 686 kernel and the AMD64 kernel.
