Unfortunately, I don't have any insights into the problem at hand and can
see nothing wrong with your .config at a casual glance. However, I would
recommend that you consider upgrading your sources to at least 4.9. As far
as I know, prior versions are now deprecated and it is unlikely that Marc
will rectify any possible bugs unless they are present in 4.9 or higher.

The 4.10 branch in particular fixes many issues and should (hopefully) be
out by the weekend. I took the plunge and installed 4.10-pre7 on my
server, and it's definitely the best release yet.

So my recommendation is to install at least 4.9, set CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G
(yes, it's changed a bit) and perhaps CONFIG_HIGHIO. If the problem still
persists, follow the steps in REPORTING-BUGS.
