    I have similar crashes with a (netbooted) epia and 4 250G Seagate 7200.8
    PATA drives.
    removing the kernel preempt stuff & realtime scheduling and stuff
    alleviates the issue a bit but it occured again yesterday.

    a quirk in the epia forces me to reboot the box by power cycling it.
