Same here with a Supermicro H8SSL-I2 (Serverworks HT1000 based).

bge0 locks the system hard when going up, bge1 OK (but goes down a few 
hours after start). Also, an ifconfig indicates:

bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
         ether 00:30:48:5e:6e:56
         media: Ethernet autoselect (none <hw-loopback>)
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
         status: no carrier
bge1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
         ether 00:30:48:5e:6e:57
         inet 192.168.1.49 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
         media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active

An the dmesg shows: (see "^^^^..")

(I also have strange problems with the SATA controller and recent 
kernels (that works fine on other machines) that seems to read random 
sectors (at least not those requested) causing core-dumps, compiler 
internal errors, trashed sources and false positives about corrupted 
filesystems.I don't know what is going on on this platform but it 
smells^Gdoesn't looks very sane.)
