And my guess is that it has something to do with memory mapping during an interrupt. Don't know much about memory mapping but I suspect that something quite fundamental goes wrong with this motherboard only. Exact same type of oops also happens with a PCIe RS232 serial card. Trouble is that one tends to select hardware for stability so that means slightly older hardware and hopefully fewer bugs. Unfortunately latest hardware may not be supported by older more stable kernels, and it also wont be well supported by newer kernels. Worse still, everything lasts less than a year with manufacturers getting away with vandalistic change of sockets or connectors or chipsets just to achieve more sales, and new bugs. This constant cycle of pointless change doesn't seem to be heading anywhere in particular.
