I managed to track down the patch.
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel/blob/v3.7.x/patches/omap_s...
I don't know offhand what rev opensuse uses of the kernel.
The deal with the bug is it takes a while for the hub to fail. I've run it as much as
a day before it failed. Because the ethernet uses the usb hub, the only way to analyze the
problem is via the serial port. But to make it fail, you need to flog the ethernet or
usb.

Just a FYI, as a posted some time ago on this list, there is a bug in
the
Beagleboard XM in the USB hub chip. A patch needs to be used fix the
kernel. (I believe I had tried Fedora 17.) I don't have the link handy, but
can dig it up later if my email can't be found in the archive. In any
event, the Beagleboard XM will lock up without this patch.
I don't remember that, if you could dig it out that would be great.
I was able to persuade opensuse to make a patched kernel for me to
verify
that the patch works. The patch will be in the factory opensuse 12.3
release. I still have the Beagleboard XM handy to test Fedora should
someone make a test image for me. (Compiling kernels is a bit beyond my
skill set. OK, way beyond my skill set. ;-) ) My Beagleboard XM is worse
than most, so I can see if it fails in a day or less.
What kernel version are they shipping in 12.3 factory for the beagle
device? I have a XM myself that I've been testing with.
