Yes. Here is a boot log on the latest master with the below three patches reverted. http://pastebin.com/W7RWSHpE (Working) I reverted these three patches. The two latest patches seem to be trying to correct/expand upon the last patch on this list. commit 958d104e3d40eef5148c402887138f6594ff7e1e netcp: fix regression in receive processing commit 9dd2d6c5c9755b160fe0111bcdad9491676feea8 netcp: add more __le32 annotations commit 899077791403ff7a2d8cfaa87bd1a82d729463e2 netcp: try to reduce type confusion in descriptors > > Arnd
