Hello

I have a problem with a server running 2.6.22rc4.

Is this a regression?

The machine panics
after some days of running fine, the machine inst heavy loaded.

The Controller detects as stex device:

Im not sure where the problem is (controller/lvm/ext3), so if anyone has
an idea, Im happy to try it out...


kernel BUG at block/as-iosched.c:1084!

BUG_ON(RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&ad->sort_list[REQ_ASYNC]));

Could be a bug in the driver that just happens to be caught by AS checks.
If you could test another scheduler (boot with elevator=deadline or elevator=cfq),
it might help give us an idea.
