The patch doesn't appear to help at all, my last two runs failed in 4 and 7.5 minutes, so potentially worse than it was. The short cable fix messages are different now: Feb 19 01:26:56 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=f) Feb 19 01:26:56 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=e) Feb 19 01:26:56 oldvoi last message repeated 2 times Feb 19 01:33:37 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=ee) Feb 19 01:34:29 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=e) Feb 19 01:35:28 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=10) Feb 19 01:37:32 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=e) Feb 19 01:39:03 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=ec) Feb 19 01:40:02 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=f) Feb 19 01:40:16 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=ee) Feb 19 01:40:28 oldvoi kernel: sis0: Applying short cable fix (reg=ec) Note the lack of bursty several-in-a-second and the changing reg= values.
