I believe this is a sign that a machine check (or "init") occurred.
Given that B2 is pretty much ancient, I'm not sure there is much
that can be done about it.

It's coming from the firmware. Perhaps an older kernel with B2
support would work better, but then again, a lot of bugs got fixed in
the kernel since then.
