As discussed on the mailing list during the Update Staging process,
I'm opening this bug for reference
I was using since month the kernel prepared at
http://download.opensuse.org/home:/mkubecek:/evergreen-13.1/openSUSE_13.1/
AMD FX8350 + nvidia blob as desktop (high 3d usage / kde 4.x)
AMD FX8350 as server with adaptec raid 8805
AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2431 + adaptec raid 5805 8x 1To nearline raid6
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz + LSI MegaRaid 1 (2x400G intel ssd +
2x 2To HSGD)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz + 8x 2T Seagate raid soft mdadm
(web/mail/postgresql/kvm)
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor (high throughput firewall)
AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics + adaptec 5800 with 8x 2To WDC
(raid6) + 8x4To Seagate (raid6 soft) + 10Gbps network intel card
(heavy io : backup)
But on two machines : having an adaptec raid controleur 6805 I'm getting a
kernel backtrace
see attachement for captured screen. (sorry no remote serial log)
On one of them I've this history of kernel used (during a time I was using
kernel:standard) before switching back to evergreen.

The last high number was 4.4.0, and the first working > 3.11 was 3.14.1
this is how arcconf tools see the controler and system on a pure
3.11.10-34-default

We saw the driver get an update 1.2-0 to 1.2-1

The most funky is on the list of system 3 of them share almost every hardware
piece
same motherboard Asus CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z, BIOS 2101 04/17/2014
same ram TridentX - F3-2400C10D-8GTX - G.SKILL DDR3 Memory x4
same cpu AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
The main differences are one has a 8805 and intel PT1000 + nvidia GeForce GTX
560 (with nvidia blob)
(working)
And the two failing have a 6805 + Intel 10-Gigabit X540-AT2 + Nvidia GT218
(pci-e 1x) with nouveau
As the crash message really involve aacraid, That's how I deducted the 6800 is
the culprit in the
stack.
We updated the firmware on controler to last available at pmc/adaptec
And have this running actually
