I've managed to get something hopefully more meaningful. First is the normal 
boot log with just a few of these messages at the end (this is before the 
"storm" starts). Then the dmesg once the problem triggers.

If what you need is the exact lines just before the "storm" starts let me know 
and I'll keep trying, but it's not easy because I'll have to be very fast in 
detecting the problem has started and logging the output of dmesg.
