Also the changes to sys/arch/sgi/xbow/xbridge.c did not helped, the problem 
persists. I attached the patch with the changes I created. First I commented 
out the stuff in the first hunk, afterwards also changed the stuff in the 
second hunk. I hope I changed the if statement in the right place since I 
found it multiple times in the file.
