Hi Stephen,

I believe I have identified the problem. The freeze only happens when
your debug patch to work around sky2 PCIe error messages is applied.
Without your patch (attached) I get _tons_ of error messages and the NIC
dies every few seconds / minutes (reproduceable!), but the system
recovers just fine from a NIC crash.

I have verified this behavior (works fine w/o debug patch, freezes with
patch applied) with:
- 2.6.19-rc1-git4 
- 2.6.18-git something 
- 2.6.18-mm3
  

Does 2.6.18 work?

What is the PCI config of the device (lspci -vvvx)?

What is the chip version (dmesg | grep sky2)?

I've got the same issue here since a while (See Message-ID:
[off-list ref] from 18 Apr 2006)

I steel get freeze (with non tainted kernel) and getting these messages
at boot :

~ % dmesg | grep -i sky
sky2 v1.7 addr 0xff3fc000 irq 233 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2
sky2 eth0: addr 00:15:f2:a9:6a:65
sky2 0000:02:00.0: No interrupt was generated using MSI, switching to INTx mode. Please report this failure to the PCI maintainer and include system chipset information.
sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: disabling interface

lspci -vvvx attached
