Spoken with David Miller again. The driver is not buggy. It does indeed
do the right thing and the only solution is an ALOM upgrade.

[SPARC] - Regression - Niagara does not reboot properly
This is documented in the release notes now, so removing milestone.
(Workaround for Malone not supporting having two bug tasks on the same
bug in the same distro where one has a package and one doesn't
assigned).

We are now in kernel freeze and don't have a kernel fix anyway, so this
needs to be documented

Like the other bug :) i agreed with Jeff about this too.
The problem is that libc6-sparc64* don't have what they are supposed to.
They are off of one level /usr/lib* - /lib* and missing the real
optmized libs.

Actually, this is a problem in the e1000 driver.
It puts the chip into a power-management state then accesses
it's registers in a way that it shouldn't, which results in a timeout.
I've known about this bug since the 2.6.17 kernel was released
but never had time to look into it and fix properly.
I have just booted to Edgy running 2.6.17-10-sparc64-smp
and I do not have this problem. The system boots (and reboots)
without hanging or powering off.
It is quite likely due to down-rev'd firmware.
Please note the large number of HV related fixes
in the latest version, which can be found here:
confirmed. The new OBP fixes this issue. So it's an OBP bug triggered by
the new kernel. This is worth a release note.
Thanks Tom!

Something like this in the ReleaseNotes should do:
SUN T2000 users should upgrade their ALOM/OBP to at least 123482-02 before
upgrading to edgy. Upgrade procedures are provided by SUN at the following URL:
