On what basis? If they can confidently make such a statement, they
should have a clue as to WHICH piece of hardware is the culprit...

Don't count on it -- those diags aren't very complete. (At least you GOT
some -- I'm STILL waiting for the diag disks for the machines we bought
in December! I have one set from our sales rep to tide me over...)
For example, the don't provide diags for all peripherals, the POST memory
diags are hosed, etc.

I'm no kernel hacker, but I have seen this error when DMA was attempted
on two channels simultaneously when DMAEXCL was set at default. Do you
use >1 device that uses DMA? (Cartridge drives, caching controllers, etc.)
Otherwise, it may help to list all of the hardware in use.
