There's a corruption bug in the page cache somewhere, and it's 100%
reproducable. Finding it will be tough....

Usually this is performed in the BIOS setup. You can also disable L1
with a sequence of instructions that write to the CR0 register on intel
and flip a bit, but in doing this you have to execute a WBINV (write
back invalidate) instruction to flush out the cache. BIOS setup is
probably simpler. Disabling Level I will make the machine slower
than mollasses, BTW, and if this bug is race related (they always
are) it won't help much in running it down.
