This is with an 8500-12 SATA raid controller. I should also mention that using the 32-bit SUSE 9.0 Professional on the same machine does not exhibit the corruption.
Yes, I have this problem as well. I have reported it to 3ware (which you should do too; duplicate bug reports add legitimacy to problems) with no luck. There was some theorization on the x86-64 kernel list a few months ago that it was an IOMMU problem, but I never had luck with tweeking IOMMU parameters.
Yes, we reported this to 3ware as well.
Can people who have problems with 3ware please test if they still happen with mem=3000M ? Just add this line to the kernel arguments in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Only makes sense of course if you have more than 3GB of memory. I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution, just for testing. -Andi
