Indeed, we have a Sabrelite development board and have run the same kernel configuration (please find attached). Russells 30 FEC related patches are applied. We have also tried with and without the extended interrupts entry in the DT. All our tests seem to behave the same way on the Sabrelite as on our own board. A working theory is that the switch (3Com Switch 4400) triggers the degeneration of the network stack from which Linux does not seem to recover, even if we later bypass the switch and directly connect the board to the server machine. Since the problem is stochastic in nature we are not completely sure if we can trigger the problem without the switch. It's the switch that allows us to run many cards simultaneously and thus trigger the problem more easily. :-) What are your thoughts?
