Hi,

   Ok I have installed the patches, and rebuilt the kernel.  
Unfortunately the errors persist,


Sep 28 12:27:58 vcomm kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Sep 28 12:27:58 vcomm kernel: bge0: link state changed to DOWN
Sep 28 12:28:00 vcomm kernel: bge0: link state changed to UP

Although prior to the installation of the patch I tried to copy some  
backup files off the server via scp. Copying a large file ~2GB caused  
the network connection to drop and the copy to fail. Testing after  
applying the patch shows that this is now improved, I have ran a few  
copies without any problems...

Where does that leave things?

thanks Andy.
