What patch is this? Is is possible for you to use one of the Red Hat Linux 
based kernels with XFS bolted on? They have lot's fixes and workarounds for 
known buggy hardware, most of these patches are never integrated into the 
mainstream kernels or it takes a while.

2.4.18-4 is the latest kernel we have in that form at the moment, it's from 
the 1.1 release but should do well.

I am using it with good results on the main database server at work.
