It can be found here:
http://dcn.infos.ru/~bugman/bootlog.txt
I have also put there output of mptable.
At a first glance, there are many strange things (e.g. a lot of failures at
various places) in this log 
file, but I don't know which are relevant to the problem :-).

Also observe two messages in the end of the file:
Jan 12 09:42:04 firewall kernel: arp: 10.0.103.6 is on xl0 but got reply
from 00:0e:0c:4d:47:d2 on xl1 
Jan 12 09:42:04 firewall kernel: arp: 10.0.103.6 is on xl0 but got reply
from 00:0e:0c:4d:47:d2 on xl2
This means that xl1 and xl2 can receive some data. However, with both
patches installed they cannot send any data.

If it can help you, I can give you root access to this box.

With best regards,
