Hohum.  rt10 did change the symptom.  Box no longer gripes at some
random point while just idling along, now it gripes (and dies as well)
during boot.

First boot, it choked on sr0 a wee bit later, second boot here.

Guess I should try x3550 M3 or Q6600.  They were griping the same way UV
box did earlier this morning (with an earlier -rt though), and they make
much smaller gripes.

Gripe attached.  Looks a lot like the old gripes to me, just earlier and
deadlier.  But I don't speak rcu.
