To add another twist to this: I added options POLLING to the kernel, moved
the fireware and USB drivers from the kernel and loaded them as modules. I
have NOT enabled polling on the em-interface but this new kernal, built on
the same sources as the failing one works without a hitch.
As before, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I have seen the watchdog and reset problem on a -STABLE laptop, both em
and iwi. It only occur when I try to connect using Mulberry e-mail client
so I thought it could be a problem with the linuxilator.
The load on the box is normally low but both driver have shared
interrupts, either with cbb or usb. Here is what I can see:

This is a development machine so I can debug and test patches as needed.

Hello!
On -stable occasionally other people complained about very similar
looking problems with bge and other drivers. My guess is, though
I'm not a kernel developer, just an experienced admin, that
em stands out as problematic just by coincidence. Certain onboard
network components tend to come with certaiin chipsets and certain
architectures.
I forgot to mention: we do have systems with em interfaces that
never showed this problem!

Patrick
