System crashes with catatrophic MCE Kernel Panic on all versions of Ubuntu and mainline kernels since 2.6.38. 2.6.35-xx works fine. Bisects would not compile after second round.
Please see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/74062894/Panic.jpg for call trace.

WORKAROUND:
Thanks to Tomasz Kusmierz who accidently found that disabling 1394 in BIOS stops the crashes. Also thanks to Daniel Manrique for his extensive assitance on the bug. (https://launchpad.net/~roadmr)

@Brendan,
The v3.5 kernel is now in development. I see that you tested v3.3 when it was mainline. Would it be possible for you to test the latest version of v3.5? It can be downloaded from:
