I have had several reports of crashes using preemption on 2.6 with OCF.
IIRC most of those are from cryptosoft users, but I am not 100% sure,  I
haven't had a chance to debug it yet.  Hopefully something I can try
when I am back in the office.

I have used OCF and a hifn PCI card on a Soekris net4801 board without any
problems,

Cheers,
