You mention you're using iSCSI.

What utilisation rates are you hitting? The 3750 has pretty small 
per-port buffers, so if you are contending one or more ports, you could 
be getting packet loss due to that.

e.g. you boot a machine, it hits a disk very hard over iSCSI, causing 
contention and packet loss.

Can you supply a diagram? Showing ports & vlan memberships?

Also, can you be more specific than "packet loss". Packet loss on which 
path, between which two hosts?
