Hello!
I have an IBM System x3200 M2 with Fibre HBA: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 415/815/41B/81B 4Gbps/8Gbps PCIe single port FC HBA (rev 01), on it installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel 2.6.18-238.19.1.
used native multipath-tools v0.4.7 (03/12, 2006) and mdadm.

and using the command:
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/osnov/test bs=1MB count=1000
or 
simply copy from MCvs
we get:

<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
without bitmap all works!
You can get rid of this problem without installing new drivers and programs?
