These messages are normal under heavy loads if you have bootverbose on, and should not cause any lockups. You might want to turn bootverbose off if you are seeing a lot of these. You seem to be using a 5.x driver versio= n (3.50.xx.xxx) on 6.0. You might want to move to a 6.x version (3.60.xx.xxx ). I have moved out of maintaining the 3ware driver. Please contact 3ware Support if you have problems.

Contact 3ware Support if you have problems. Anyhow, I would love to be of help to get this resolved so that > 3ware works on 6.x.
