kernel 4.8.6 config regarding ext4 error

This might just be a limited issue to my set-up, but I doubt it. The issue is
that I was attempting to upgrade from 4.7.4 up to 4.8.6. Nothing was changed.
When I did try to boot the new kernel I got a file system error message related
to ext4. This also created a corruption in my /dev/sda3 file system (ext3) and
I had to manually correct it (that might have been due to unclean unmount since
I had to cold reboot the computer). I did test to switch the setting from
compiled in into modules, but that did not solve this issue. The ext3 file
systems mount properly it seems, regardless of the errors I got later on after
cold reboots on the computer.

I did not get into the shell following this issue. I don't think this is any
type of misconfiguration at my end. Since I follow rather regular and stable
setting if possible.

sdb1 is a ext4 file system. While the rest is ext3. I don't have any issue with
kernel 4.7.4 with the same setting. The size is 1TB.

I get this in my rc.log. I'm running Gentoo linux and compiling the kernel with
genkernel (for convince).

Attached is my kernel config for 4.8.6. This was my last attempt to solve this
issue.
