I recently purchased three SuperMicro 6022c 2U servers for a farm here at
work and I'm having problems with all three of them.  The most notable,
and annoying is random reboots and sig10/11 on various programs like
ident2 and netstat.

Here's what hardware I'm running:
* SuperMicro 6022c w/ SUPER P4DC6+ motherboard and Integrated Adaptec
  AIC-7899W dual channel U160 SCSI controller.

* Dual Pentium Xeon 2.0 GHz processors.

* Integrated Intel 82559 LAN controller.

* Quantum Atlas 10k III 18GB U160 SCSI drive.

* 2GB of PC800 RDRAM ram.


What I've done:
* Swapped power supplies between boxes.

* Backed off to 1GB of RAM.

* Removed one processor.

* Swapped RAM between boxes.

* Reinstalled FreeBSD (numerous times).

* Installed WinXP and ran some hardware diagnostic software (passed
every time).

Does anyone else use these boxes with FreeBSD and have luck with them, or
are SuperMicro and FreeBSD not compatible?  Does anyone else use FreeBSD
and Dual Xeons, or is that too bleeding edge for FreeBSD?  Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance,

- C.J.
