More Info. The 3Ware driver appears to be corrupting memory. I did more checks. This driver will bark if the memory passed is not 4K aligned. I do not know if this is specific to this driver, or if it is related to the recent VM issues.
When I pass 4K aligned memory, the problem disappears. The IDE and standard SCSI drivers do not exhibit this behavior. 2.4.15-pre6 does not seem to exhibit this behavior.
Please advise,
Jeff
