getting up Intel gigE 82547GI (8086:1075) crashes kernel

[Moshe]

Hi, 

I've got few Dell PE750 boxes with P4HT.
 
Installed Mandrake 10.0 with 2.6.3-smp.
 
This box have 2 onboard nics:
eth0: 82547GI (8086:1075)
eth1: 82541GI (8086:1076)
 
When I try to ifup eth0 it crashes kernel, i can't even toggle NumLock,
when i boot with noapic, i can at least toggle NumLock, but nothing
else.
 
eth1 gets up fine and works perfectly.
 
I've got suggestions to rebuild kernel without acpi, apm, apic.. will it
help?
 
Any others ideas?
Thanks..

You don't have to rebuild the kernel to turn those off -- there
are boot/command line options for them.  See
linux-2.6.x/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for info.

E.g.,
acpi=off apm=off noapic

No serial console or other debugging tool available?
