I observed a similar problem on a Dell Optiplex 330. The error message is almost the same except for the e1000 line:

  sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
  Restarting system.
  machine restart

I had emailed Marc to try using the 'reboot=b' boot option to see if it would help as a workaround. Just waiting for feedback.

Here's a quirk patch which should resolve this. I'd like to get this patch tested and verified first before submitting to the kernel team. Thanks.
