Subject: Re: sky2 panic in 2.6.32.1 under load (new oops)

What has been running on eth0 (usual for me ... perhaps relevant to the 
issue) when I've seen the errors. As noted previously, there is a 
correlation with dhcp, and maybe one with dns over ipv6.

Console is local (nouveau kms).

As per Stephen's other email, I'm rerunning with kernel debug enabled. 
I'll also try nomodeset and could if need by (but a real PITA) can swap 
video cards with an ATI card.

ipv6
appletalk
dhcpd
smb
dns (bind9)
X11 (accessing box via cygwin)
sendmail
imap
mediatomb
