Thanks for the input! Glad to hear I'm not the only one
In my case, both the SCSI and NIC are integrated on the motherboard, so I cannot really move them around... :)
Also, as I mentioned, I tried a de0 (PCI card, not onboard, and it literally stopped the machine). Is the de0 driver also a problem?

I hate to say it, but I've had these for months starting at 4.6-stable and continuing up to at least the latest 4.7-RRELEASE-p* . I have one dual -current box that has exibited the same behaviour as well.
The boxes work just fine with the xl0 driver. Lots of different motherboards and processors (all PIII) and a number of different Intel card revisions. I can't run my squid boxes on fxp cards _at all_ for example, the fxp driver will take the box down with it. On my firewalls it's locked up the interfaces numerous times.
The only suggestion I can offer at the moment is to try various card placements over your PCI slots. I've found stability using one of the first two slots for my Adaptec controller (2940U[2]W, 29160[N]) and the rest for the Intel nics. This happens both with or without POLLING enabled. I've tried a number of combinations of POLLING enabled/disabled, not compiled in and different HZ settings. Obviously no POLLING on my SMP boxes.
I know one or two others that have had problems with this too, but haven't had the time or equipment at hand to work with any developers on getting this fixed. I guess I got the equipment now (various PIII UP/SMP boards from Gigabyte, Asus) and a little time if anyone wants to bite.
My guess is that the POLLING commits broke something, but that's just a guess. I don't have any dc cards here, and no one has ever complained about either them or the rl cards timing out. There also seems to be a definite correlation between the fxp problem and the ahc driver.
Ok, the rest of the "me too's" should now chime in with a bit of time and energy. There's also a PR open on this: kern/45568 .
