I have tried on several 2.4.* kernels, with the latest 'aacraid' driver 
version (1.1.2) available on Matt Domsch's site, but the problem kept 
reappearing.

Firmware versions:
     PowerEdge 2650 BIOS at 1.10 A10
     Backplane firmware at 1.01
     PERC3/Di BIOS at V2.7-1 (build 3170)

For load, I'm using a diablo usenet server, which is being header-fed. 
All headers are being kept in an overview database, which is about 30GB 
large, and where the daemons do a lot of I/O.

Any difference in hardware/kernel/.. with your configuration?
