Thanks for your suggestions. I did as you told me, applied those 3 patches on
top of 3.1 + net-next (the one from 29 Oct 2011), enabled all those things in
config and passed corrupt_dbg=1 on cmdline, but the problem happens without
anything being written to dmesg.

Am I just lacking a bit of luck, or could it mean something (like that the
error is in hardware, the microcode, or something like that)?

Regards,
