Are these dual-NIC motherboards? One bizzare problem we had on some of
our dual-NIC e1000 based systems was that during a kernel update
from 2.4.20-20 to 2.4.20-24 (a while back), the order in which the NICs were
detected had changed, so eth0 was now eth1 and vice versa. Naturally enough
this caused all types of fun with LCFGng, and even more fun when
you had these NICs connected to different VLANs.
Safest thing to do when going between the 2.4.20-20 -> 2.4.20-30
kernel is to have both interfaces plugged into the switch or disable one
of them totally.
cheers,
