Now that you mention it: definately they affect more than just IDE and
SB.  It's only that the error probability for anything else appears to
be much smaller.  We've seen a VIA-based SCSI-only (and no SB, it's a
19" server :) crashing due to this bug and due to the corrupted files
resulting from it.  Similar to Wilko's scenario, it only happened once
the machine has got heavy load.  A FreeBSD machine on the same
hardware so far survived "make world", but we eventually RMAed the
mainboards after seeing the Linux crashing.
