Recurring MegaRAID SCSI Errors

[Joshua Schmidlkofer <joshua@imrlive.com>]

We are getting errors from a MegaRAID device.  We have been able to 
semi-consistently reproduce this by copying large files to the network.  
This is a Dell PowerEdge 1800.

We have replaced everything in the system. 
- 2 New RAID Cards.
- New Memory
- New Motherboard
- New case.

We are currently running 2.6.17.7 - we have been upgrading slowly.  
First due to problems with the RAID that were fixed in 15 or 16, second, 
the numerous special XFS fixes that have been needed.

I have no idea why this is happening, and could really use some guidance.

Dell is fast running out of suggestions.  No errors except what the 
kernel reports are being found.

sincerely,
 joshua
