The Linux tg3 driver claims this is a BCM5764. Can you try this patch and
include any messages (especially any phy messages) from a verbose boot?
Alternatively, you could boot w/o bge in the kernel, turn on bootverbose
(debug.bootverbose sysctl) and kldload a patched bge.ko and capture the dmesg
output.
