DragonFly crash over Vaio NR21Z

(meta)
new to the list, new to DragonFlyBSD.
This is a long post.  Kept it on Users (where it started), and because 
I'm hoping others here might be able to tell us whether or not their 
systems use the same Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host 
Controller I have in my system (vendor=104c, dev=803a), and if they are 
also having issues with it.
-----------------

Hello, all,
in reference to [[ 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2008-04/msg00029.html ]]

I too have a new VAIO notebook (NR285E/S), and it is hitting the 
non-maskable, type 19 trap on booting DragonFlyBSD (12.2).  (Though my 
last message is "Stopped at  fwphy_rddata+0x96:    testw %bx%bx")

Searching the net,
. .. this thread is a hit on the VAIO NR notebook side of the error
. .. and the firewire thread from November 2004 on the kernel list 
(between Matt & Gabor MICSKO) hits the details.
	[[

]]

What makes me point to the 2004 thread and say "aha" is (1) the 
location in the boot sequence  (during fwohci0), and (2) the vendor 
(both are vendor 104c ... different devices, though)

dark0s-Optik,  ... is this the same/similar for your machine ?

In the past week I've downloaded the latest FreeBSD (7.0), OpenSolaris 
(NV b87), DragonFlyBSD (12.2), and Ubuntu (8.04), and have tried them 
all in the VAIO.   Also, thrown in are my August 2007 CDs for Slackware 
12.0 , and the OEM install of Vista that came pre-installed on the 
machine.

DragonFly is the only one with issues on the VAIO.
(and the CD burn should be good, because DragonFly loads fine on my old 
Dell Latitude CP)

I ran the memory-tester that comes on the Ubuntu CD ... but I'm 
doubting that will test any on-chip memory  (if the 2004 discussion has 
anything to do with this)

SPECS
=====
VAIO  VGN-NR285E/S
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5450 (1663 MHz)
--------------------
FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 
1394 Host Controller [104c:803a]
--------------------
VAIO BIOS is such that I cannot disable individual devices.

Googling for the device
=======================
Looking around, it appears this TI chip is also in the following:
	Toshiba A105-S4004
	Toshiba p205d-s8804
	Acer TravelMate 3020 (3022WTMi)
	
I see no hits on the Toshiba, DragonFly, and that device-number.
The one hit I see on the Acer is from 2006, ... and is Gabor again.  
(different machine from before)
	[[ 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2006-03/msg00044.html 
]]
There, the kernel gets past fwohci0, but has the following error
		fwohci0: Invalid irq 255
		fwohci0: Please switch PNP-OS to 'No' in BIOS
so ... while it's not failing (as it seems to be doing on the VAIO), 
it's not like it exactly "works" on the Acer, either.

Any thoughts, or similar experiences?

   I don't think there's anything we can do, the machine took a NMI 
fault
   in the middle of a normal instruction.  There might be some BIOS 
settings
   you can play with but it looks like a real ram fault to me.  I 
searched
   around google for a bit but didn't see anything specific.

I 'd like to install DragonFly 1.12.1 on my Sony Vaio NR21Z, but
whilst DragonFly load, it appears:
RAM parity error, likely hardware failure

What is the problem, DragonFly don't support my notebook
