i can confirm this one.

the changesets are listed here:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/patch@1.1803.125.6

...and because i had some troubles getting a GNU diff-style patch with
/usr/bin/bk, i made one against 2.6.11.6:

http://nerdbynature.de/bits/hal/2.6.11.6/1.1803.125.6.diff

more info and dmesg under:

http://nerdbynature.de/bits/hal/2.6.11.6/

to summarize: i don't know exactly which changes, but *some* changes had
to be made to arch/ppc/platforms/prep_pci.c to get the network card
working [1] again (network code kept locking up the machine). after this
issue was resolved, i too noticed the scsi errors [2] others were
complaing about.

thanks to all involved,
Christian.
