No luck, got the first timeout shortly (25 min) after boot without ACPI,
again while mostly idle and I'm not able to repeat it more than once a day
or so:
Mar 12 01:49:19 imogen kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout
Mar 12 01:49:19 imogen kernel: xl0: link state changed to DOWN
Mar 12 01:49:21 imogen kernel: xl0: link state changed to UP
Any other ideas? Original post, for reference:

My first suspicion was that your NIC is dying.
I had those basic symptoms some years ago
and within a few days was suffering unintended
reboots from kernel panics. Replacing the NIC
solved it.
