I don't know if you've seen it but:

looks like a thread that might be applicable?

That does look interesting. I had a few times where mine would just
hang and I could use the SysReq keys but most of the time it just plain
paniced.

I'm not subscribed so if you see something interesting, let me know. I
wish I could let them know it also causes kernel panics as well. I
suspect tho that whatever fix they come up with, it will fix it all. I
may go back to a older kernel too. lol That may work for a temp fix
anyway.

Thanks very much for the link. At least it is not just me and they know
about it now.
