with this new BIOS, there is an option in BIOS setup screen to completely disable ASPM
after this upgrade and adding below line to grub.conf
pcie_aspm=off e1000e.IntMode=1,1 e1000e.InterruptThrottleRate=10000,10000 acpi=off
My server is still online without any problems for the last 48 hours.
Before that eth0 and eth1 was crashing at random intervals.
The longest uptime before crashing was 23 hours.
it looks like problem solved for me with this upgrade…
