Yes, the Sun GEM interface is the problem. Ethernet over FireWire (a direct link between the webserver and database server) works just fine. In a minimal config with no devices enabled except the SU serial line (needed for console), the dual SCSI adapter and the Sun GEM nic, the problem still remained the same. > Could you also send us the output of /proc/interrupts, /proc/iomem > and /proc/ioports just to see if we have a problem.
