I am using a snapshot of the XFS CVS when it was still 2.4.7-xfs. That
version of the kernel comes with the 1.02.00.007 3ware driver. I have NMI
watchdog enabled, too, but have not run into this error at all. But then I
don't load my 3ware driver as a module, since I need it at bootup. Why
can't you compile the 3ware driver with the kernel? Wierd.
