I've had my BP6 system for about a month and have on a few occasions
run into a problem with "networking deafness" where the system is not
able to receive network packets of any kind. First, when I had MPS
set to 1.1 I saw this problem, though everything else seemed fine.
After a couple weeks with MPS 1.4, I did see a crash here and there
and tried the "noapic" option. In that case, networking worked fine
initially, but after I did a lot of traffic, the system would become
deaf to the network again.
I was running with 2.2.12, but am now running 2.2.14, not using the
udma66.
Does anyone have knowledge of what the MPS setting and noapic options
are doing? Seems that the problems have to do with IRQs, but I'm not
a hardware guru. The stability of this board has been a real
disappointment, and I'm about ready to pull one of the CPUs if it will
rid me of these glitches.
