After I have excluded MD from the kernel config and booted the new kernel I 
just received the following message:

Jan  6 14:33:07 Fileserver kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(sd(8,37),0x8) called 
from line 1020 of file xfs_trans.c.  Return address = 0xe094c27a
Jan  6 14:33:07 Fileserver kernel: Corruption of in-memory data detected.  
Shutting down filesystem: sd(8,37)
Jan  6 14:33:07 Fileserver kernel: Please umount the filesystem, and rectify 
the problem(s)

So my problem definitely isn't MD-related. :-(

Any ideas still?
