My apologies, i think i wasn't being too clear. You won't be able to
replicate that exact error by default, i got it because i killed
interrupt routing/handling on the interrupt controllers servicing the bus
on which the scsi controller is on. The errors generated by the SCSI layer
in turn kill the box in 2.5.63 whilst only spewing those errors and
continuing boot with 2.5.62
