That hasn't been very efficient last time. In any case, on the latest
version I tried (0.4-408, I can't blow up the backup machine every
other day):

- iscsi-tape is incompatible with tg3 and works with e1000

- iscsi-disk blows after a random time in what seems to be a (irq?)
stack explosion on x86 but not on x86-64 (which iirc has bigger
stacks). Seems to because the serial console blows too and only
writes a handful of characters.

Filesystem is reiser3.

OG.
