Hello Nathan,
I updated the kernel to 2.4.7-pre6-xfs. However, I got your message to
include kdb after I had already done so.
I decided to revert to the aic7xxx_old. I suspect that the new Apaptec
drivers that have gone through a major overhaul are not up to snuff. My
failures always occur when by backup is writting to tape (Amanda).
The next time it crashes and I upgrade the kernel I'll include kdb. I
too suspect that this is not XFS related.
Cheers.
