My FC2 box is on a small network with several Windows boxes, where it serves as a Samba data/backup server. It runs normally, except that whenever I logout of an X session (under any username), it disables interrupt 11 and takes down the network card. Logging back in (as the same or another user) does not make it recover; the only thing that will restore network function is a reboot. The messages file contains:

Booting with acpi=off as suggested by the error message has no effect. Suggestions?
