There are several Thunder K8 Boards out there. K8S, K8S Pro, K8W, etc. Furthermore: which BIOS Release? I had trouble with all but the initial BIOS-Release for my Thunder K8S (2880) Boards under i386-stable and i386-current concerning interrupt routing issues (with and without ACPI). I hope testing the various BIOS revisions under amd64-current really soon. > 2 x Opteron 248 > 2 x 1GB sticks PC 2700 ECC ram > adaptec scsi raid card. > raid 5 array + 1 hot spare. > Motherboard has onboard video, dual intel gigabit nics (bge). Intel or Broadcom? The "intel" nics would be em(4), the Broadcom nics would be bge(4). The Thunder K8S comes with dual bge(4). >From the dmesg-output your board looks like the K8S (2880).

Do you mind showing the mptable output? My boards where rock-stable with complete unconfigured nics; since the culprit was a misrouted interrupt for the broadcoms. Sometimes doing an ifconfig was sufficient to "halt" the machine, sometimes I had to initiate a ftp transfer or other means to generate some network traffic. -Andreas
