Thank you to those whom have replied.  I did not make it clear in my
last message that I did try booting with acpi=off last time.  It did not
seem to address the problem.

In regards to the bellow response:

You hit the nail right on the head.  That's exaclty the card I have.  To
be specific:

lspci |grep Ether

I removed the tg3 driver per your suggestion and loaded the broadcom
driver.  The above stats are with the tg3 driver.  The below stats are
with the bcm5700 driver.  With the tg3 driver I immediatley began
getting receiving errors.  So far I am still clean 5 min after reboot.
Below is the ifconfig after the new driver install:

If it stay up until tomorrow I'll know it's fixed.  I'll post again
whether or not it stayed up.  Thanks for your help!

Just a wild guess, but the broadcom 5700 gets detected as a tigon? card
and uses the tg3 driver. Broadcom has linux drivers available, and they
offer a .src rpm that can easily be rebuilt. Can you do a 'lspci |grep
Ether' and see if you have a broadcom NIC and let us know?

Other than that, high quality NICs are cheap these days, so you might
try replacing the one you have to see what happens. I guess you have
checked you network, and tried a different  switch/router port? What
does  'ethtool eth0'  tell you? What does 'ifconfig' and  'netstat -an
-ieth0' tell you about your error rate?
