Description of problem: When running in SMP mode on a machine with 1gig of ram iSCSI will hang the machine. This has been seen with both the tg3 driver and the e1000. It does take a little longer with the e1000 driver. If booted with 800M and SMP the system works great. No slow down. Booted with 1Gig and UP the system works but is sluggsih.
