This is symptomatic of the sym2 driver not
receiving an interrupt.  I believe I've tracked it down to
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-January/035115.html
but that was *before* -pa4.  Are you really sure that was upstream -pa4
that booted on your b2k?

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
