    I had a similar problem on a Compaq DL140 that turned out to be an issue
    with ACPI. You might try adding pci=noacpi as a boot option.

    Thanks for the response. I might not be up to speed with modules,
    because these seems odd to me.

    inside /etc/modprobe.conf is this:
    ########################################################################
    # Aliases - specify your hardware
    ########################################################################

    install eth0 /bin/true
    install eth1 /bin/true
    install tr0 /bin/true
    install scsi_hostadapter /bin/true
    install fb0 /bin/true

    ...you'll notice that the module that eth0 is supposed to be using
    isnt
    listed next to it? Is this something new in the 2.6x kernel?

    However, when I do a lsmod, I get this:

    tg3 75396 0

    ..So, I am assuming is loading somewhere. I'm not just sure where.

    Any further assistance is appreciated!

    Yes I have seen this many of times. What driver are you loading. The
    TG3
    driver from RedHat or the bcm5700 driver?
