The new aix7xxx driver in 2.4.9 panics the system during reboot. This may or
may not be related to the kernel raid code (the system in question runs a small
native ext2 partition for kernels/lilo and all other partitions are ext2/raid1
(autodetect).
What happens during reboot is that after the 'flushing signals' message from
the raid code there was a 20 to 30 second delay, then the new aic7xxx code
complained about 'ABORT' and then caused a kernel panic. This scenario was
reproducable.
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to write down the exact details as I had
to get the system working and did revert to the old aix7xxx code which works
flawlessly.
