No crashes in the last two weeks. Do you have any further suggestions how to debug this or should we accept that portsharing doesn't work very well? This is the second problem we can directly attribute to the sharing with the iLO (the first one being the "no IPv6 unless the port is in promiscous mode", we had a thread about this here on netdev a few months ago).
