I've got the same issue here since a while (See Message-ID:
<1d7ea2d50604181027o55d9cc43i5a7d912e388387a4@...l.gmail.com> from 18 Apr 2006)

I steel get freeze (with non tainted kernel) and getting these messages
at boot :

~ % dmesg | grep -i sky
sky2 v1.7 addr 0xff3fc000 irq 233 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2
sky2 eth0: addr 00:15:f2:a9:6a:65
sky2 0000:02:00.0: No interrupt was generated using MSI, switching to INTx mode. Please report this failure to the PCI maintainer and include system chipset information.
sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: disabling interface

lspci -vvvx attached
