HP Servers do not connect to HP 2900 switches at 1 GB

Regards,
To get communication I have to set interface to 100 Full duplex
 
What NIC is in the server?


"We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - Sherlock Holmes

 
I've seen situations where both the switch and the server have to be set to 1 GB. Someone said one time that auto negotiate should be "ought to negotiate".
 
What model and generation of servers? (ex. ML370 G2)
What OS? (ex. Windows 2003)
Patched? (ex. SP2)
HP support pack level? (ex. 7.90)
Cable grade (ex. CAT5e)
Patch cable or homemade?
