Hi Laurent,

On the beagleboard list, we found a hack/workaround for the smsc95xx kevent spam in dmesg, that seems to lock up the ethernet interface:

Add to /etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 8192

So far, after 13 hours, my panda hasn't had a single kevent while building gcc and running the gcc testsuite, with a setting of "-j 3"..
