Comment 99 for bug 204996

Given the NMI messages I was getting at the console when the hang occurred, I tried
booting with "nmi_watchdog=2". This seems to have stopped the crashed occurring
for me. I've managed to scp several gigs of data over the LAN whereas before, the
machine would hang after just a few hundred megs.

Unfortunately this conflicts with vboxdrv from virtualbox-ose :-(

I'll continue testing & post any further results. If anyone would like me to test anything
else out I'm happy to help.
