I am not a kernel guru but I had exactly the same problem!! It happened to me when my SCSI controller card was about to hickup and during automatic backup session (high data transfers) my disk would freeze-up (red LED on all the time) and I would see the error message: /kernel biodone: buffer already done but my machine did not auto reboot. The problem is mostlikely in your SCSI host adopter (if you are using one and you get a SCSI timeout error message as well) Or your disk has some bad sectors and is about to give up Consider yourself lucky and do a backup!! I had to replace my SCSI controller and the disk as well which was degraded by the controller problem.
