Network error with Intel E1000 Adapter on update 2.4.25 ==> 2.6.3

[Martin Bene]

When trying to update the kernel from 2.4.25 to 2.6.3 I run into a probelm:

While the driver for the onboard Intel E1000 network adapter loads OK, it doesn't seem to find an interrupt for the interface - ifconfig shows:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:A6:2D:7A:64
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Base address:0x9000 Memory:fc000000-fc020000

Trying to configure the infterface results in a frozen system.

Running the system with 2.4.25 kernel works OK and shows 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:A6:2D:7A:64
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0x9000 Memory:fc000000-fc020000

and works OK.

Board is an Asus PC-DL, Intel 875P Chipset, one Xeon 2.8Ghz CPU, Onboard e1000 Network interface. Any idea how I can get the onboard NIC to work?

Thanks, Martin
