I get tons of these:
em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
em0: link state changed to DOWN
em0: link state changed to UP

Motherboard is a Supermicro PDSMi+

I have only seen them on em0. Yesterday I tried sysutils/cpuburn on 
similar boxes that are netbooted with NFS mounted drives and everytime I 
loaded the two CPU cores the network went down.

I have not tested with other NIC:s so I don't know if the bug is in the 
em driver or somewhere else in the kernel.

I will update my 6.2 now and see if it works better. I will also test 
with a bge PCIe adapter if the problem persists.
