Dec 18 16:38:17 tonto kernel: tr0: adapter error: ISRP_EVEN : 04
Dec 18 16:38:17 tonto kernel: NMI: IOCK error (debug interrupt?)
Dec 18 16:38:17 tonto kernel: CPU:    1

Just noticed that the above error also occured with the ibmtr.c from
linux-2.2.12 forward patched into linux-2.2.18. So far it occured less
frequently and at least the machine stays up. I don't know yet what
happened to the "transmitter busy" which bothers us much more because
that's what ultimately forces the reboot.
