   What does utcapture show?  Recently we had a NetGear GigE switch at a
   trade show.  Dropped packets like crazy.  Brought in a cheap CompUSA
   100 TX switch and all the problems went away.

I've seen many posts (and some from me) on packet loss with certain
switches.  In our case, it was Cisco, and Cisco and Sun blamed
eachother.  We tried various wiring and port speeds, with some help
for the Ray 1 or the Ray 2 (but not both).  We routinely had packet
loss over 20%, at which point the desktop is mostly unresponsive.

For Rays in the same bldg as our server, we inserted $50 Netgear Gb/s
switches and worked around the problem.  Our server is an X4200.

   Noted that you did /etc/system work-around, did you reboot?  (required)

I gather that this is the timer workaround.  Does this apply pre-SRSS4
(and on Solaris/x86)?
