Other people have reported kernel panics. It looks to me like k3b's device 
probing and hald's device probing at the same time manages to tickle a bug in 
ata(4).

I'm afraid a true kernel hacker will have to inconvenince themselves with 
running k3b and hal in order to have this one fixed. FWIW, I haven't seen in 
happening on 5.5.
