I'm sorry, but I have to say that we seem to be suffering
from the very same problem. :-(
We have a bunch of Compaq DL360G2 (about 20 of them) at a
customer of ours, each of them has two Broadcom gigabit
interfaces (bge0 and bge1). There are spontaneous reboots
when a machine is under high network load. It seems to
happen under 4.7-Release as well.
This is a pretty critical issue for us, because we cannot
easily replace those machines, nor can we plug in other
gigabit cards (those are 1U servers and we need the two
on-board interfaces). The consequence would be that the
OS might have to be changed, since we haven't experienced
any reboots under Linux on a test machine so far. :-(
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm willing to assist in
whatever way necessary to resolve this issue.
Regards
Oliver
