My first reply on a mailing list, I hope this works. ;-)
First, it seems to be the same problem as in the post "Marvell Yukon 88E8053 on Apple Mac mini (hanging system)" by "Tasmanian Devil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Yes, my thread. I tried to email Mark Kettenis directly who wrote about the patches, but no answer so far. I really would like to experiment a bit with them, and I don't know where else to start. Obviously it has to do with the IRQs, maybe it helps to disable a few of the other devices? On my Mac mini nearly everthing seems to use IRQ 11 according to the DMESG, don't know if that's ok or if that's caused by the BIOS problem Mark mentioned in his post. Also in your DMESGs the non-working system uses IRQ 11 for the NIC, but the working system uses IRQ 5. I really don't need most of the Mac mini hardware, but a working network is essential for me... Tas.
