I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation, but I highly 
recommend disabling both onboard network cards and installing something 
PCI -

I had frequent random reboot problems on all four of my DL360s, with and 
without the broadcom patch from Ted Mittelstaedt.

Following Ted's suggestion, I haven't had a single reboot (three weeks 
now) after disabling the NICs in the BIOS, removing the driver from the 
kernel, and installing an Intel Pro 1000/MT in each.
