Vivek,

When stress testing I never had any issues with the bge NIC on our AMD64 Tyan S2882 system.

Of course within a day of putting it in production it crashed. Switching to the fxp NIC did not fix the crash, although it crashed differently.

If you have a spare server you don't mind crashing, can you try running 20-60 instances of the following script:

#!/bin/sh

while :
do
        arp -d <some valid IP> >/dev/null 2>&1
        ping -c 1 -t 1 <the same valid IP> >/dev/null 2>&1
done

Thanks,
Gary

Can anyone enlighten me, if recent crashes are on STABLE only or
5.4-RELEASE is affected as well?


I have three boxes running 5.4-RELEASE. one is a mediumly-loaded web server, and two are very heavily loaded database servers. none of them ever crash.
