I've got the kernel to boot thanks to your instructions, and it does keep
running after the error appears. I notice that the fec driver in the 2.3.18
kernel is a little different, but I haven't managed to get that kernel to run
at all yet, so I'm hanging with 2.2.13 at least for now.

Hmmm... performance tests are something I'm thinking about trying pretty soon!

Every couple of minutes or so; it seems to happen most during NFS traffic. I
haven't really hunted it hard yet though.

Thanks,
