Tried today vanilla 2.6.33, then did a: # modprobe -v cassini cassini_debug=-1 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/net/cassini.ko cassini_debug=-1 In kern.log the messages appeared: Mar 1 12:17:14 tantalus kernel: cassini.c:v1.6 (21 May 2008) Mar 1 12:17:14 tantalus kernel: PCI: Enabling device: (0002:00:02.0), cmd 146 Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: cassini: MAC address not found in ROM VPD Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: eth0: Sun Cassini+ (64bit/33MHz PCI/Cu) Ethernet[24] 08:00:20:cb:31:01 Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: PCI: Enabling device: (0003:00:01.0), cmd 146 Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: cassini: MAC address not found in ROM VPD Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth15 Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: eth0: Sun Cassini+ (64bit/66MHz PCI/Cu) Ethernet[30] 08:00:20:bc:c7:b7 Mar 1 12:17:15 tantalus kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth16 Mar 1 12:20:48 tantalus kernel: eth15: Link up at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex.

After sending out 68 pings the machine crashed with the usual Hardware FATAL RESET. What can be done to debug this further ?
