We believe that we have located the problem. It appears to lie within the io-blk.so code.
When the blk ramdisk=xxx option is used, a path has been found where a ramdisk's buffer can be cleaned when invalidated.
When using the ramdisk (not to be confused with devb-ram), the buffers should not be cleaned when invalidated. In the
case of this forum's thread, this eventually leads to crashing the devb-eide driver.
Until fixed, the suggested workaround is to use devb-ram instead of using the blk ramdisk=xxx option with devb-eide or
the other devb-xxx drivers.
