There exists a kernel bug that crashes all RHEL kernels post 2.6.18-164.el5 when using Qlogic’s CNA modules and a malformed frame occurs on the network. Bugzilla article here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600350. It sucks being guinea pigs for new technology but at least they are working to get it resolved. Booting with qlge option qlge_irq_type=1 is a workaround for now.

Gulf Oil Leak
BP has published live video of the oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. I created a page for easy access to the live feed. Their latest comments state they will leave the feed running while they initiate their top kill procedure. Should be interesting to see the outcome of their attempt live.
