Subject: STMMAC driver: NFS Problem on 2.6.37

Hi

I am facing a problem related to nfs boot, while using the stmmac driver
ported on 2.6.37 kernel. When we use a JFFS2 file system and mount the kernel,
the network driver works fine.

I have been following the mailing list and could find some issues with NFS 
on 2.6.37 but I am not too sure whether the kernel crash I am getting is 
related to that.

The driver worked fine on 2.6.32 kernel, but while booting the 2.6.37
kernel I get the following log messages:

I have tried the same over latest source picked from linus tree,
4162cf64973df51fc885825bc9ca4d055891c49f
Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6

We are using version 3 of the NFs protocol in kernel's NFS client.
