System is a D875PBZ with LOM.

clues?
I'm guessing this is an old bug found by the following bit of
debug coded added into since v2.6.20

+#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ
+ if (irqflags & IRQF_SHARED) {
+ /*
+ * It's a shared IRQ -- the driver ought to be
prepared for it + * to happen immediately, so let's
make sure.... + * We do this before actually
registering it, to make sure that + * a 'real' IRQ
doesn't run in parallel with our fake + */
+ if (irqflags & IRQF_DISABLED) {
+ unsigned long flags;
+
+ local_irq_save(flags);
+ handler(irq, dev_id);
+ local_irq_restore(flags);
+ } else
+ handler(irq, dev_id);
+ }
+#endif

I don't have a clue why the e1000 wasn't ready though.

our code is clearly calling request_irq before we have assigned the
function pointer adapter->clean_rx as well as adapter->alloc_rx_buf

That would be a bug, a possible patch would be (inline and attached):
compile tested, *but* I couldn't test this patch to make sure it worked
because I couldn't boot 2.6.20-git due to it not finding my RAID0 + lvm
disk.

Works for me(tm) on latest 2.6.20-git and D875PBZ.


If there are no objections I'll push this patch to Jeff Garzik together with two other changes I have for him.

Cheers,
