Hello,
We had similar problem .... but with bcm5700 1G, cards on double CPU
servers. Nodes recycled every 24 - 48 h (depending on traffic loads)
because of kernel panic.

It was very closely tight with SMP kernel and bcm module. We got following
info from checkpoint support:

Subject: SPLAT core dumps
Bcm5700 has known stability issue with SPLAT which is under
investigation right now.
So we replaced NICs with Intel's ones and it works now very well.

CheckPoint Splat problem
Hi All,
I m facing a very strange problem.......I m having a checkpoint r55w
management server installed on a windows 2000/IBM x346 server. The
enforcement module is installed on splat r55w and is running on a ibmx346
in a HA-load sharing mode(Unicast). there is a primary server sharing 30%
and secondary server sharing 70% of the load.
my problem is that the secondary server reboots abruptly with the
following errors.....
chkpt2 kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 35.
chkpt2 kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
chkpt2 kernel: Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
chkpt2 kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth2: transmit timed out
chkpt2 kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth3: transmit timed out
chkpt2 kernel: bcm5700: eth2 NIC Link is Up, 100 Mbps full duplex
chkpt2 kernel: bcm5700: eth3 NIC Link is Up, 100 Mbps full duplex
chkpt2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
The server restarts and during this there is no failover of "sessions"
from one server to another causing a downtime of say 4-5 min.......I have
changed the hardware for this machine including NIC cards). Also, checked
that there is no power saving mode available for the server..
Can anybody help me in this....?
Rgds,
Adrian
