I switched over from kernel 3.8.13 to 3.14.19-ti-r28 (compiled with 
netconsole support)  and after a little over 24 hours uptime, my BBB 
rebooted without any entries in the netconsole log or any logs on the BBB 
that I could find. 

Did anyone have any luck in troubleshooting this issue any further? 

In the meantime, I guess I'll try your suggestion of disabling the watchdog 
for now.
