Attached are the dmesg and lspci -vvv outputs from two different boots.
The first is my native AMD64 system booting to the RAID root partition
using kernel 2.6.18. (files: dmesg-amd64-native and lspci-amd64-native)

The second is the same machine booting to a different partition on a
stand-alone SATA drive. Unfortunately, that particular install is i386
and not AMD64, though it is still kernel 2.6.18. (files: lspci-i386-xen
and dmesg-i386-xen)

I can confirm that when booting to the AMD64 Xen kernel I get the same
errors that you see on the i386 boot log, I just can't save them since I
have no disk to boot to.

As part of the dmesg output on this kernel, you'll see at the bottom of
the output what happens when I try to modprobe -r the 3w-xxxx module
from the running kernel.

Incidentally, this also means that every time I boot into a kernel
having that module problem, I have to use Alt+SysRq+B to reboot the
system, as everything else fails while unloading modules (and so never
completes the shutdown process).

If you need any more info please let me know.
