It's probably still the same problem. The problem is related to a lock
contention on block devices. For SCSI drivers anyway, whether the scsi
driver interrupt routine calls the scsi_done() function with interrupts
enabled or disabled and whether the driver uses a global cli(); for locking
in the queue routine will determine if the machine is dead, or just the disk
subsystem is dead.
