Hello Matt,

Hi Bernhard.  I talked to Michael about this and we'd like you to try
two things.

1) Can you disable iLo2 and see if you can still reproduce the problem?

That will take a few days, I'll ask the on-site guys to check whether we
have an external IP-KVM available. 

Would switching the uplink connection to eth1 (and not use eth0 in
Linux) give some more clue as well?

Sure, let's try that.  Maybe this is the better way to go anyways.  I just
learned that disabling iLo2 doesn't necessarily disable the management
firmware on the network device.

For this to be a meaningful test though, we need to verify that the
driver sign-on messages have a line that reads "ASF[0]" on eth1.  Can
you confirm?

2) Can you apply the following patch to get more information on when
   MMIO gets disabled?

Applied, I'll send you the information as soon as it happens again
(which seems to be happening rather often the last couple of days).

Thanks.
