Strange crash on Dell R720xd

Hi,

I'm currently replacing an old system (HP DL 380 G5) by new dell R720xd.
On those new boxes I did configure the H310 controler as plain JBOD.

Those boxes appear to crash more often than not (from 5 mins to a couple
of hours).
I have the impression those crashes appear under heavy IO.

The setup consists of a few md RAID arrays serving as underlying devices
for either filesystem, or drbd (plus lvm on top).

I managed to catch a trace over netconsole:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Rebooting in 5 seconds..

Do any of you guys have a clue about it ?

Thanks

PS: The very same kernel doesn't cause any trouble on R510 hardware.
