Booting with Safe Mode (3) results in

Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel
cpuid 0   apcid 00

instuction pointer 0x70:0xc8c0

The last line printed before the crash is 
ata5: [ITHREAD]

If people want details, I'll use a camera on the screen because
I only get about 5 seconds before the computer restarts.
