That sure points to a machine/kernel conflict. You could try getting the
source and rebuilding to see if that solves it, or maybe a diff of the two
kernel configs to see if something is different there. Maybe someting is added
or turned on in the new kernel that your system doesn't like.

Also, make sure your systems bioses are up to date. Not just motherboard, but
any other cards that have firmware that might have an update like raidcard/sas
controllers or ???
