Check that NIC, if it is a BroadCom 52xx Gigabit controller that may be the source of your problems.
Check the Compaq website, don't they have a mailing list for linux on Compaq's? I use mostly Dell's here, and they have a mailing list that is *GREAT*. The few Compaq's I have here haven't given me any problems, (except power supplies that die like clockwork.) but they aren't the new G2 stuff. I would use Compaq except that they are pretty expensive and I couldn't stand the Compaq support teams I used to deal with 8 years ago, and they still seem to be pretty strict about *EVERYTHING* is Compaq or nothing is.
