I'll third it. Just had another machine blow up it's RAID5 set because
of this bug. Tyan S2895 board, 4 500GB Hitachi SATA drives in RAID5. I
suppose I could buy a 3ware controller I suppose but that's a few
hundred dollars per machine.

These machines are running SUSE 9.3 or SUSE 10, I've tried kernel.org
kernels as well as the iommu=memaper=3 cmdline option.

Any other advice greatly appreciated.

I saw a lot of patches come through by Muli but am not sure they address
this issue, do they?
