Rodney Beede, the next step is to commit bisect between those two
kernels in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do
this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

** Description changed:

- Reproducable 100% of the time.
+ Reproducable 100% of the time. /var/log/kern.log shows stack trace.

  sudo md5deep -r -c -z /dev/
  Other intensive I/O commands such as fsck /dev/Some3TBDrive also cause the panic.
