Linux and Solaris servers on the same network and performing the same tasks were unaffected. The only log in all the servers /var/log/messages is 'Aug 29 01:28:52 eos /kernel: fxp0: device timeout' - this appears in all the servers logs. The time varies for each server by no more than 10secs. As soon as we disconnected the server we suspected of causing the problem connectivity returned. There's nothing in the logs of the suspect server , but it was unresponsive to the keyboard. As soon as the server was disconnected all the other servers started responding - no reboot needed. I'm submitting this as suggested by Mark Murrey. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
