The buffer problem is new information (it might have been there but I didn’t associate it) and might be related or might not, more info is better right.
This is (almost) stock 11.0. I’ve changed nothing even relating to hardware stuff.
I also installed the debug version of the kernel but as I’m mostly a novice I don’t know how to do the equivalent of running k3b with paranoia set to 3 from a the command line that presents itself after logging in. For that matter I don’t know if it would help.
Once the logs show it dying, the system doesn’t even recognize that a drive exists. No /dev/sr0 at all thus the system doesn’t auto detect a new disk.
I think this is the system log after a disk is inserted (but right now I’m trying to force another fail to see if the Buffer I/O thing comes up again, so I can’t really stop the disk that I’m ripping.

Depending on the test to see if there are more buffer i/o issues, i’ll check a different SATA bus after making sure I have the proper log from inserting a disk.
Also, long shots occasionally pan out. I love it when they do
