BTW, I've had PCI-X problems with a Marvel MV88SX6081 SATA controller
on a M/B WITHOUT the HT1000 chipset (Tyan S2881UG2NR). The M/B worked
flawlessly under 7.0-BETA1 & BETA2. I added the Marvell controller
and EVERYTHING on the PCI-X bus flaked out. I'm seeing Ierrs and
Oerrs (netstat -i) on the built-in bge interfaces, ZFS checksum errors
on disks attached to the Marvel controller, etc.
I wasn't sure from reading the thread whether Soren thought the
problem went beyond the HT1000 chipset or not. The problem seems to
manifest itself only when I use the disks attached to the Marvel
controller. I'm applying the patch now to see if it fixes the problem.

By the way, anybody with an afflicted HT1000 system who has been unable
to install FreeBSD on it, contact me privately off-list and I can
provide you a patched 7.0-BETA4 boot CD (disc1 from make release) so you
can get it going.
