Well, one question is whether or not you have ECC memory in the machine, and if so, if you have parity checking or ECC turned on. Mike's board doesn't have ECC memory, and I've been trying to find someone with a SuperMicro 840 board with ECC turned on. (To see whether their boards have the problem with the MRH-S chip.) As far as the 7892 chip, the driver should be pretty stable, I don't think other folks have had trouble with it.
