I was not able to reproduce this with 2.6.15-23-server. Perhaps you could post a script that reproduces the error along with the specific kernel / lvm versions installed.
It could also be an load related issue like this one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/71567 (no one seems to care). I can panic every 6.06 kernel if I remove the snapshot of a logical volume that has just been written to without calling sync first. You could also try compiling your own custom kernel from virgin kernel.org sources. It did this and it fixed my LVM related crashes. -- system crash when creating more than one snapshot of a lvm volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/76421 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
