I have a server acting as a router/firewall (dmesg below) that stopped
passing traffic on one network card after being up for ~4 months. The
card was unpingable, and I believe the console said "watchdog
timeout". Since the connection was down, I didn't take the time to
write down the message, but instead rebooted the system. Two days
later the same thing happened. I currently attribute it to bad
hardware and have swapped out the server with another identical one.
I'm not asking for the problem to be solved, since I know I don't have
enough information, rather I want to know if I should use a different
network card. Should I just use the single processor kernel? Or is
there a work-around/configuration change that will "guarantee" me
stability with this configuration?
I found this while searching Google:
http://www.armorlogic.com/openbsd_information_server_compatibility_list.html?action=detail&id=dl580g3
which says "OpenBSD 3.8 can boot on the machine, but seems to have
various issues related to multiprocessor support and on-board Broadcom
network interfaces."
Thanks!
