I'm running the Debian 2.6.15 kernel from backports.org on a machine with two Opteron 275s. I am getting a BUG in tg3.c quite reliably if I ping flood the machine from a few others and cause a bit of other network activity. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes half an hour. The BUG also fires in more realistic situations - it just takes longer to reproduce.
The machine has a Tyan S2882-D motherboard with dual BCM5704C network interfaces. Only one is in use. The Debian 2.6.15 version of tg.c seems to be identical to the one in stock 2.6.15. It doesn't look like either of the two changes to tg3.c in 2.6.16-rc1 are likely to be related to this. I'm not subscribed to this list - please let me know if there is any more information I can provide or if there are any patches you'd like me to try.
