I have a S2881 (aka K8SR) board and a megaraid 320-2x card in it with 8 U320 disks. During times of heavy I/O and network traffic (running database reports and backing up the DB) it has a tendency to lockup and/or timeout the network card. Do you have details on what you did to resolve your issue? I googled a lot but didn't find much to help me. My vendor claims that it is probably the bge interface onboard that is problematic (says FreeBSD 5.3 driver is buggy) and is shipping some intel NIC cards. I'm running 5.4-PRE on this box now.
