Hm, I have never seen a problem like this one. I can't help but wonder
if your board is flaky (also possibly indicated by the non-working
Ethernet). You might want to consider RMA'ing it with Intel.
However, before you do that, I would suggest also making sure the PCIX
configuration is correct. Remember that the IQ80321 does not
automatically reduce the PCIX bus speed if a non-PCIX device is plugged
into the slot. You must manually set the bus to PCI-33, PCI-66, or
PCIX-66, based on the lowest-common-denominator on the PCIX bus.
Consult the IQ80321 manual for the switch settings for the various
modes.
And finally, you might want to try a -current kernel on your board; the
VM code for ARM/Xscale has been significantly improved in -current, and
many bugs were fixed.
