Correct, we can reproduce the lock ups after a reboot following 5-60
minutes of high I/O load (900MB/s plus).
stacktrace from the first sign of trouble in dmesg always the same?
I'm no expert at reading these but I believe it is the same. Here's the
trace after the next reboot/lock up cycle:

[ 3709.158246] kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit
attempt? (uid: 0)
I now have serial console logging enabled on these servers so I can
provide a fuller copy of the trace if required although I'm guessing the
only useful output is that pasted above.
Did this machine work well with other kernels before (and if so,
which ones)?
The machine is new and so we haven't tried older kernels, we have tried
the current bpo kernel and also experienced lock ups there although we
didn't have remote/serial logging enabled at the time. I can retest and
capture the logs if that would be useful.
If you get a chance to run memtest68+, that would also be useful, of
course.
We have 5 of these blades, all identical. I memtest86+'d them on arrival
a couple of weeks ago, everything was clean. I'll retest tonight though,
just to be on the safe side. I'll also repeat earlier tests on one of
the other blades to capture a trace (we've seen lock ups on the other
blades too but again, didn't have remote/serial logging enabled at the time)
Thanks, Paul.
