FWIW, I ran into this problem in July. My BT747 (EISA) was causing this
panic on a 12GB CCD. I didn't have it all of the time though, and the
machine has been fairly stable. I'll try the test program also.

I have these Buslogic (and Bustek) controllers:
BT956C pci (fairly new)
BT747 eisa (fairly new)
BT742A eisa (fairly old)
BT542 isa (really old, might be a 542A, have to look)
I'll be happy to help test, or just provide a serial console to a box
with any of these.

I can definitely help with the controllers mentioned above. I have
only seen the problem on my BT747 though.
Let me know via private email if you want serial console access.
