Holger, Beware of the Broadcom Driver (tg3.o). It will randomly lock up the entire system with or without load until you hit kernel 2.4.18-19 or higher. I did not test the bcm5700.o driver, so it may help at a performance cost. If you search the archives you will find several threads on it.
Here is the RedHat note out on it as well: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-292.html http://news.com.com/2100-1001-976427.html?tag=fd_top Good luck!

Hello, we have a runing OSCAR 2.0 + RedHat 7.3 on a cluster of several 1U Supermicro servers and we want to extend the cluster by the more compact "blade servers": - IBM xseries (http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/eserver/xseries/bladecenter_family.html) 2xBroadcom 1G ether BCM5703X, Linux tg3 module Serverworks CSB5 chipset - Nexcom HiServer 420 (http://www.nexcom.com.tw/2003/main.html) 2x1G ethernet (chip ?) Intel E7500 chipset Has anybody experience with setting up OSCAR on these machines ? Both are known to work under RedHat 7.3, but it may be more or less complicated to install OSCAR 2.0 on them depending on the PXE boot support and necessary drivers for the network cards. Does anybody know if the built-in switches support ganglia multicasting ?
