PowerEdge 2850 AMD64 panics

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi

this is 'known' issue with the 5.x versions, it kernel panics under high
file I/O. I've had this myself while testing a new email server.

I've no idea if 6.0 fixes this issue, but it can't any worse to probably
worth a go to upgrade to the 6.0 release.
