The mainboard has a onboard re(4) ethernet controller. I experience a very strange behaiviour: When there are large transfers on the onboard SATA controller the re(4) controller starts to have packet loss. This packet loss does not stop when there is no more load on ata(4). With another high load (like doing a full-system backup) the packet loss keeps increasing up to 90% and more - the system is not accesible over the internet anymore, packets get lost, SSH sessions or http requests get stale, I have to restart the system. I experience no kernel panics. Another (maybe related) problem that occurs (but does not effect system responsiveness) is described in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-November/080525.html Here is some information about the system: dmesg (boot -v): http://test.vx.sk/MS-7368/dmesg.txt pciconf -lcv: http://test.vx.sk/MS-7368/pciconf.txt dmidecode: http://test.vx.sk/MS-7368/dmidecode.txt I don't understand why this happens and would like to help debugging this issue.
