These are machines with an onboard p420i and daughtercard p420 RAID controller, with each drive in a single raid0 configuration. (unideal, but the machines do not boot when the card is in HBA mode). This panic does not happen on kernel 3.13 with hpsa 3.4.1-0 when using sosreport. The funny thing is kernel 4.2 / 3.4.10-0 still is a more stable solution - I have yet to see a prior issue in which the p420 would lock up on this version. One issue wit h this is HP 99% of the time will require an sosreport when we raise any hardware issues. I can no longer produce that on kernel 4.2 machines because they kernel panic. I can reproduce this consistently with several other machines in our environment. - please let me know if you would like more info.
