Hi, Having got 5.3 onto our new twin operteron Tyan Thunder K8S Pro S2882 with 8Gb of RAM and had a reasonabley stable operation for a few days we installed a couple of databases one worked fine but the other kept on causing the server to crash. After some hunting around we found discussion about problems with the on board Broadcom BCM5704C 10/100/1000 Gigabit ethernet controller on Linux last year and wondered if there were similar issues with FreeBSD 5.3's broadcom driver? The problem only seems to happen when the controller is streched with lots of data as the other mySQL database runs fine but switching to the more load intensive one causes issues. Thanks in advance for your advice.
