Still getting occasional crashes. Several hours of use this time rather 
than several minutes in the box stock f12.

This crash took out the whole box...first FF stopped responding, then 
t-bird, then gnome.

ssh in from another machine and can run a few commands then :

Message from syslogd at localhost at Nov 29 22:56:44 ...
  kernel:mpage_da_map_blocks block allocation failed for inode 146336 at 
logical
offset 0 with max blocks 38 with error -30

Message from syslogd at localhost at Nov 29 22:56:44 ...
  kernel:This should not happen.!! Data will be lost

...on the console. Shortly after this "Input/Output Error" for every 
command and a hard reset was needed to recover.

Not sure how common this is, but I think I am seeing a new line in dmesg :

pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 0: address space collision on of device 
[0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff]
