You're screwed :)
It seems to be a hardware/PCI problem. I replaced 4-port NICS (the DFE-570-TX),
motherboards, cpus, entire chassis...the problem followed the riser cards.
To debug, take off the face-plates of your NICS and run them in your box
w/out the riser..or take the MB completely out of the case. I'll bet
you a dozen realtec nics that that will fix your lockup problem! :)
While you're doing that...order a $54 riser from adexelec.com. Their
riser fixed the problem for me. If the riser isn't obvious on
Adex's page, let me know and I'll find the version of the one I got.
Btw, if you find a butter-fly riser for a 1U chassis that works, let
me know..cause I see the same problem in my 1U servers...
Enjoy,
Ben
