I don't know if the following is specific to the OS release (I think it is), but we had to force the interface into full duplex mode, otherwise it would not link up. This was done in the non-basic mode:
alttune e10 LinkNegotiation 0
(where e10 is the gigabit interface). We were running 4.3.x when doing this. I have a f740 with 5.x and it does not seem to require this.
We have been using Prominet Cajun P550 switches for this without any problems.
Let us know if you get the Extreme switch to work. The Black Diamond looks nice and dense.
