Ughh!  Spoke too soon.  :-(

The older PIII machine still crashes in the same manner.  This is what
I have  configured:

 $ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i CONFIG_ATA
# CONFIG_ATALK is not set
# CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH is not set
CONFIG_ATA=y
# CONFIG_ATA_NONSTANDARD is not set
# CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR is not set
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y

Also,

CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y

CONFIG_PATA_ISAPNP=y

CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=y
CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=y

This is what this old machine contains:

# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)
...
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 Controller (rev 02)

I should be able to get onto the P4 later on and see if the problem
persists there too.
