Hi,

I found my machine with a freezed desktop tomorrow morning. I don't use
anything UDP specific, just a lot of TCP traffic. I the machine is a
Mac mini Core Duo running 2.6.20-rc6 without special mactel-linux.org
patches except for the IR remote driver. The kernel log looks similar.
I don't use MSI. However, I don't get this several times a day. IIRC
this was the first time that I saw this.

Regards,
Tino
