I can't help you with your controllers, but anyone in a position to help =
will likely want to know if the box simply resets, or if the kernel =
panics.  And if there are going to be any patches, you most certainly =
will want to get familiar with the debugger to help try stuff out.  The =
handbook has information on how to enable crash dumps and getting the =
kernel debugger going.  If you haven't done so already, try and get a =
serial console going, it helps tremendously to be able to cut&paste =
debugger info instead of trying to hand transcribe it.


HTH,
Stefan
