It might be worth replacing the sky2 driver with the newest bleeding 
edge one over here:

sky2 1.0?

Looks like a found the root cause of the sky2 hangs on pci-express. I 
copied some code from the SysKonnect driver that reconfigured the 
pci-express max request size. This probably caused receive dma engine to 
fail in face of contention. That will teach me to stop copy/pasting in 
bugs.

It might fix some of you issues ..
