The software you're running is fine. I don't think Cisco would sell an 8 port Gig switch with software that doesn't support GBIC. We have a few of those switches in our environment running the same software and they work fine. How are you trunking the ports? What are you connecting the ports to, one port to your distribution layer switch and the other ports straight into servers?
