Migrating live guest with iSCSI mount

I've got a cluster running off iSCSI volumes.

I have Linux guests running, each mounts another iSCSI volume (via internal software initiator).

When the iSCSI volume is connected, but NOT mounted, VMotion is successful.

If the volume is mounted, segmentations faults and kernel panics galore, CPU spikes sky-high.

Has anyone else had any experience with iSCSI mounted inside a Linux guest?

Nobody does this but us I guess.

Well, we eventually stopped having Kernel panic during VMotion at about ESX 3.5 Update 3 or 4.

Also ESX 4.0 is fine.
