Looking around on the web, it seems this bug can be caused by a variety
of things, from faulty memory banks to bad drivers.  Perhaps it's a bug
in the drivers for the revision of these devices that you're running on.

Check your kernel log file just before or after the error message you
posted, it should include a call trace which may provide a better clue.

That just means it's most likely a hardware or device driver problem
specific to these devices.  I don't know the other devices that don't
have this problem.  If they're also Tonidos of a different revisions,
it may be worth seeing how these differ.
