Well, I have another way to crash the machine too. Just try to mount a
CDDA (Audio CD). Instead of an error message, you just have a kernel
panic. On my linux box, I deduce that it comes from the scsi card which
is an aha1505 and not a real 152x. May be your card is also a aha1505 ?

For my crash, it does not happen with kernel lower than 2.1.86. (It
happens with a 2.1.92, not with a 2.1.86). I haven't tried with the
2.0.36.

It may come from a bad handling of error messages ?
