The bundled nvidia driver was upgraded from R173 (b99) to R177 (b100/101).
Your boards were not included in moving the G3x GPUs to the R173 driver
branch.

The error you are getting is an interrupt routing test failure.  The driver
plumbs the interrupt framework, purposely triggers an interrupt on the
card and does a timed wait for delivery.

One of the big changes in the Sun version of the R177 driver in b100/101
is using MSI interrupts by default if the card advertises them.  The driver
on the NVIDIA download page does *not* do this yet, so if this problem is
masked by downloading their driver it points to a MSI delivery problem.

In the Sun version of the R177 driver you can revert to using fixed
interrupts by uncommenting the following line in /kernel/drv/nvidia.conf
and rebooting:

  #Uncomment the following line if you need to disable the use of MSI interrupts
  #AllowMSI=0;

Please try this to see if it masks the problem on your system.
