I'm a bit confused from the way you worded this, do you have watchdogs
with em, or you use em to avoid them?

If you have problems when running NFS then thats a clue, is it TCP or
UDP based NFS? I am interested, give me details about the setup please.

I have one of the engineers in our test organization trying to repro symptoms
on a system installed with BETA2, it has shared interrupts between em and
usb. Any additional stuff he could run would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jack
