I found, if I use newer kernel there is no that bug anymore. So I can wait newer xen-kernel form Centos-5.6 or I can compile it my own.

Hi Margus,

Have you tried upgrading to a more recent version of OFED/OpenIB?
Also which initiator are you using? I suspect open-iscsi?

Kind regards,
Joseph.

I set up xen server again. Mounted iscsi target without iser suport and the
system is stable. No more kernel panics.
But without iser supert iscsi target access much slower :(
