Hi,

I think I have the same problem here with all versions of the 2.6.x kernel
series (tested with kernel v2.6.8/14/16/18/25 on a PPC7455 machine with
different PCI network cards by transferring a big file over NFS/SCP). Data
corruption occurs under high load, but I don't get any kernel oops.

regards,

Gerhard
