We've got 7 of these units. On one the ethernet is dead. Some of them have qlogic cards and are serving 2-3 3TB raids. When we try to move copy large files over nfs or rcp, the machines like to lock up. We have gone from Suse 9.1 Pro to 9.2 Pro to SLES9 and nothing is staying up.
Is the BCM5704C really that bad? I can't blame the OS because I just can't believe SLES9 would lock up like that.

Unfortunately on these motherboards yes. I too have had some lockup issues when using the onboard ethernet on the S2881. I resorted to installing a Intel Pro 1000 instead on these. You should contact Tyan because supposingly the latest revision corrects these problems. Should be able to get a free replacement. Brad Dameron SeaTab Software www.seatab.com
