I haven't seen or noticed this happening before, but obviously the first
core dump was back in April related to cups. The question is "What should I check?" and "Does any of this look related to BIOS settings and the new disk controller?" (that looks more doubtful after looking over all the information)
Anybody have experience with this type thing?
are you running everything Arch up-to-date vanilla or do you have some custom stuff? if you're vanilla, run memtest on the machine.
All vanilla, I'll double-check with memtest. After putting the pci-sata controller in, I have noticed an IRQ 13 error on boot related to the failed onboard disk controller. I suspect disabling the onboard controller completely will eliminate that error. (next snip)

Thankfully, this is a situation where I have an older AMD Phenom-9850 Black in the box, so linux-firmware should catch it. Thanks for your reply. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
