I had the same kind of problem few months back.  Was never able to find a
solution for it (No help from Gigabyte).  It wasted 3 weeks of my time.
Finally I decided to dump the Gigabyte 1U GS-SR101 server and bought a 1U
server based on ServerWork LE chipset.  The Gigabyte 1U GS-SR101 was nothing
but problems.
