When the packets were dropped, there was a different sequence in the

Anyway, I'd be intersted if the switch matters here.

Plus one more test: could you try to load sky2 with the parameter:
"copybreak=1" (the rest as in any recent test, which gave you dmar
errors; any switch).

Thanks,

Ok - will try with and without the copybreak=1 after I'm done bisecting 2.6.33 rc5 for something unrelated (it'll take a couple of days for each unless a crash occurs in less that 48 hours).
