Occasional crashes with sky2

From: Bernd Schmidt <hidden>

For a few months now, I've been seeing occasional kernel panics that
would happen every few weeks.  I'm not exactly sure when they started,
but I definitely see them in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30, and never saw them in
2.6.25 and earlier.  They happen with 32 bit and 64 bit kernels.

Today I managed to capture an oops with netconsole; it's attached.  This
seems to point towards the sky2 driver.

Some hardware information:

Both of these share their IRQ with other devices:
beaker ~ # dir /proc/irq/16/
total 0

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 nvidia
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 pata_jmicron

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 spurious
beaker ~ # dir /proc/irq/19/

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 HDA Intel
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 eth0

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 11 15:46 uhci_hcd:usb5

azx_interrupt, which occurs in the call trace, belongs to HDA Intel.
Not sure if that's a clue.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Since you are using tained(nvidia) driver, I really hate to go do indepth
fixing it. And like Mike said 2.6.26 is over a year old by now.
