I tried this on a CURRENT box last cvsup'ed about a week ago running 
GENERIC.  The hardware is a Shuttle SN45G:

http://us.shuttle.com/specs_access.asp?pro_id=279

Unfortunately the patch did not seem to work for me.  It looks like nv0 
is not detected correctly.  All network access results in a nv0 timeout 
errors.  I saw a panic during the boot scroll, but I could not scroll 
back or investigate as my USB keyboard stopped operating at this point. 
  Its not clear if the panic was related to the nvnet port.

I'm sorry this isn't a very helpful report.  I am going to work on 
getting serial access running so I can get more information off the box. 
  I will also try upgrading/reverting my src tree in case I am just 
stuck on a particularly unstable cvs point;  any suggestions for a 
stable date are welcome.

Thanks.

- Ben
