Yeah, me knows - it does sound weird.
I moved my system from to different notebook (it was pure rsync +
mkinitrd + couple of adjustments in loaded modules). Older one was using
pata_ali, new one is using AHCI (Intel ICH8).
After booting it (using *the* *same* kernel, only different modules) for
the first time I started to get random oopses, file system corruptions
as well as scary HSM violations in logs.
Ubuntu live CD had no issues (even with relatively high IO load during
kernel compilation); also my son used this notebook for several months
under ArchLinux without any issues either.
I compiled minimal stripped down kernel which worked. I tried to compile
more feature reach one - and immediately got HSM violations. This time I
noticed that "bad" one had dm-multipath and "good" one not ... well,
removing /etc/mutipath.conf (to block loading of it) - and lo and
behold! I am running without any issues ...
So what I got in logs was:

[ 35.693405] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
The contents of /etc/mutipath.conf was:
defaults {
getuid_callout "/bin/echo -n 12345678"
path_checker readsector0
}
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 12345678
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
no_path_retry 5
failback immediate
}
}
I was experimenting with multipath-over-loop and completely forgot about
it later.
I understand that it sounds more like "doctor, it hurts when I stab
myself in the eye". Still, even with this absolutely weird config result
is rather unexpected (what is worse, it is near to impossible to find
out the reason; I did it by pure accident). Also I have been running
with *exactly* the same config for almost a year without any ill effects
at all.
I am ready to offer debugging aid if required.
