PCI Ethernet: Stuck at Kernel 2869

Sat Mar 24 16:35:42 UTC 2007

I "upgraded" to the 2933 kernel and a few hours later
omen.com was lost to the world.  Back to 2869 which has
been reliable.  I have tried different ethernet cards
for eth0 with the same results.  The local network
uses the motherboard's gigabit ethernet which kept
working (except for NAT of course).

A8N-E motherboard 3GB RAM running 32 bit Fedora on
64 bit AMD chip.  Excerpts from "messages" follow:
