AW: Any resolution of PERC3/Di crashes with recent 2.4.x kernels?

Hello everyone,

just to contribute... I think I was the one who started the recent discussions as my PE2650 crashed with fairly strange symptoms. Unfortunately, we have not been able to figure out the reasons (and I guess we never will).

However, after recovering from the crash everything seemed to be stable again. When 2.4.22 was released about two weeks ago, I immediately upgraded to it. Everything has been running fine so far with Hyperthreading enabled...

Best regards,
Matthias
