Iv'e seen such things when using systems with a... questionable hard
drive. In other words my laptop.
But then i always find a lot of "DMA reset sucsess" "CRC checksum error"
etc right before the whole system comes crashing down. In a very
garbeled log file...
(ex. it may not say "DMA reset sucsess" but instead "DRMA restet
rucess"...)
