The one thing I can think of, is that IBM warns on these blades that

interface in a way the will disconnect the SOL connection.
Given this, I wonder if the disconnection is a (delayed) consequence
of the bge0 driver loading shortly before the disconnection?

Just on that note, and I know this is going to sound like a typical
IBM response, but have you taken the Bladecenter chassis BIOS, BMC and
RSAII firmware revisions all to the latest level?
For that matter, have you also taken the Blade BIOS and BMC firmware
to the latest revision?
I roll my eyes every time I get that response from IBM.
I know. It's like Windows service people asking you if you've rebooted yet.
But with the IBM Bladecenters - I just go straight to the latest
firmware before I even call them now. Applying the latest firmware
revisions often do fix up the quirky problems you can receive on
BIOS's, BMC's and RSAII Adaptors.
When I ran in to this problem the first time (about a year ago) I did
have them up to date.
I'll have to go check the current versions and download any I don't
have, but since S10 is working fine, I didn't think of it.
