Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The cciss driver causes a kernel panic when a mkfs.ufs command is used
to format a LVM logical volume as a UFS filesystem.
The logical volume is within a volume group based on a software raid (MD
raid1) disk for which the physical disk is a partition on a HP SB40c
storage blade.
We have verified that the problem does not occur when the physical disk
is a partition on a SAN attached array (tested with MSA1000 and EVA
4100 arrays).
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
Architecture: i386 (x86_64)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64
Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
-- Other Information
The problem has been reproduced with both the 32bit 686 kernel and the
AMD64 kernel.
The console trace included is from the system running the 686 kernel.
The problem appears to be 100% reproducible.

- From: "B.M. Bullen" <B.M.Bullen@stir.ac.uk>

Apologies this report was a draft intended to be sent only
to myself as I had not used reportbug before. There is a couple of typos
- e.g. UFS when it should been XFS
The command I used was;
reportbug -i kernel_BUG_cciss.como -d
I misunderstood this to be: -d for debug to send only to myself, and -i
to include the console trace.
Apologies again I also think there is an existing report for this
cciss driver causes kernel panic,
but against a different kernel version, so the 'query-bts' did not find
a match.
I'll send an email to the existing report -
