$subject says 5.3, message says 5.4.  which is it?  There was a  
"lockup fix" for SMP amd64 systems just before 5.4 was released.

Also, what ethernet driver are you using?  I had major problems with  
bge network cards (on the mobo) under heavy disk + network load.   
Many lockups and reboots.   I ended up putting in intel NICs and the  
problem went away.
