HP Proliant Microserver/FreeNAS NIC problem

[CyberPunk_1000]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has seen any issues running FreeNAS on the HP Microserver?

I've set mine up with a couple of SATA disks and iSCSI targets to serve Vmware ESXi hosts however when I start to load the box (boot XP from ESX) it will get reasonably far but when the network utilisation reaches 100% or near that for any sustained time the box will hang and I'll get a message such as 'bge0: watchdog timeout'.

I've tried various configurations in the /cf/boot/loader.conf and various versions of FreeNAS all booting off a USB stick.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
