A storage path failover might cause a kernel panic if you are using a virtual LSILogic adapter. The cause of this is a defect that leads to a race condition in the adapter's driver. This failure has been reproduced in the RHEL5.1 64bit, RHEL5.0-5.3, and SLES 10 Linux releases, but other releases might also be affected. C ontact your operating system vendor to determine if the Linux release you are using has this issue and obtain a patch, if necessary.
