We are trying to update our border firewall with a new Sun x4100 server,
but unfortunately whenever we put load on it it rudely dies :(.

The server has four onboard Intel gigabit ethernet copper ports. We have
also installed an Intel single mode fiber adapter, and an Intel dual-port
multimode fiber adapter. Full dmesg output is included below.

I installed OpenBSD 4.0-stable using one of the onboard copper ports with
no problems. The system ran almost a week with no issues, including
rebuilding from source. We then hooked up the single mode fiber to one of
our existing firewalls to allow state to synchronize. After about 20
minutes, we switched production load onto the server via the dual-port
multimode card.

within a couple of minutes, the following appeared on the console:

NMI ... going to debugger
Stopped at     cpu_switch+0xc5:    nop


We rebooted the server and tried again, with the exact same error after a
couple of minutes. Just for fun, I tried booting with the single processor
kernel, with the same result.

The system is completely stock except for adding
"net.inet.ip.ifq.maxlen=250" to /etc/sysctl.conf.

When booting, "RTC BIOS diagnostic error 2" is displayed, I'm not sure if
that's relevant.

After the NMI, the system is at the ddb prompt, but the virtual console is
unresponsive and I can't type anything at it. So far I haven't been able to
get the serial console working, so I'm not sure if the unresponsiveness is
due to the USB virtual console, or if the system is just plain hung up.

Another possibly unrelated datum -- we originally tried to install a
dual-port Sysconnect card (one of the newer Marvell variants) but the box
would crashed during boot with it installed. The operating system didn't
log anything, but the system event log indicated there was a "hyper
transport sync flood error". We didn't seem to have that problem with the
Intel card.

Any thoughts? Thanks much...
