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
