OK, let's see if we can figure out more specifically what's broken.

A 2.6.12-rc2 dmesg log from a previous post included this:

	nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
	ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169
	PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64

The 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 dmesg from that post doesn't mention nvidia.  Was
the nvidia module loaded (check with "lsmod")?  Does it produce any
dmesg output when it loads?  Does the output of "lspci -vvs04:00.0"
look different between 2.6.12-rc2 and 2.6.12-rc2-mm2?

What sort of error do you see when the Marvell doesn't work?  The
previous dmesg logs both contain this:

	sk98lin: Network Device Driver v8.15.1.3
	(C)Copyright 1999-2005 Marvell(R).
	ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 201
	PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
	eth0: Marvell Yukon 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
	      PrefPort:A  RlmtMode:Check Link State

When it doesn't work, is there something different logged?
