For others who also have crashes, do your crashes persist when you disable 
these options (don't use ACPI) for ATA/SATA.

CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y
CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=m

Recently I added a lot of options to my .config (compiled them as 
modules), I noticed two items, one, when all of the ATA devices (SATA), 
not the deprecated ones and/or the ACPI option for libata, that seemed to 
be the final culprit that may have been causing my issues, no crashes.. 
yet.
