Emil, Loading the kernel w/ noapic causes the system hang why trying to load driver e1000e. The system we have is sealed so we could not open the box too switch the slot. Any ideas to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.

Notice that counters are 0 for eth1. ethtool also fails the interrupt test: The test result is PASS The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 4 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 0 Interesting that ethtool reports the test as PASS even though it failed ... You can try loading the kernel with noapic see if that helps, although this is suboptimal. Maybe switching slots would help, not sure.
