It's still not clear to me what you do to trigger the corruption.  What
modules, specifically, are you removing and inserting?   Can you narrow it down
to a single module?

The messages

[  487.377387] bio too big device hda5 (8 > 0)
[  487.377860] bio too big device hda5 (8 > 0)

... indicates that the block queue data structure has gotten corrupted (since
queue->max_hw_sectors should never be zero).   Bottom line is it sounds like
*some* module is causing random memory corruption, leading to the kernel
malfunctioning.   The bottom line is figuring out which kernel module or
modules are involved.
