Hi,

The patches Jack made when this discussion was ongoing helped both me
and AFAIK Mike also. The machine I had which exhibited these problems
now works fine and stable. The patches should have been MFCed, but
just in case - try the version from 9-current.

During testing, I've also found that the BIOS setting "Remap PCI
memory" or "Remap device memory" or something like that (I can't look
it up now) also helps if disabled. Mike AFAIK didn't have this setting
in his machine's BIOS.
