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,
