Subject: busy usenet server: only stable kernel is 2.6.12-mm1, rest (including 2.6.13-rc4*) barfs within a few days

I'm going nuts...
A tyan AMD64 opteron machine functioning as a usenet gateway really
pumps some traffic a day (http://newsgate.newsserver.nl)
Incoming traffic comes through a optical gig-E card (acenic)
and local traffic is fed to our spool boxes through cupper gig-E
(tigon3). Machine uses adaptec onboard scsi disks.
At first i thought i had a hardware problem since no kernel would
survive longer than 30 hours. Ofcourse i ran memtest for a couple
of days. Than i compiled 2.6.12-mm1 and this kernel surviced 18 days
without a problem. But of course you now and then want to try
bigger&better(tm) kernels ;-)

Machine dus have serial console (and remote powerboot) but no logging
posibility (portmaster1). When it crashes i think most of the times it
has something to do with IRQ.
2.6.13-rc4-git2 stopped working with the following notice:
Jul 31 03:28:18 newsgate kernel: hw tcp v4 csum failed
Jul 31 05:56:59 newsgate kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth3: transmit timed out
Jul 31 05:56:59 newsgate kernel: tg3: eth3: transmit timed out, resetting
Serial console kept spitting those messages but it gave no prompt
anymore. remote powercycle was needed to get it back.
More info/config can be found at: http://newsgate.newsserver.nl/kernel/
Any feedback/suggestions welcome.
Danny
