Did you pass those parameters to the amd64 installcd? Or did you use
kernelOfTruth's livecd?
I passed it to the 2006.1 install CD (and added it to my grub kernel
params, of course).

People on the forums claim they're using the in-kernel Realtek 8169
drivers, have you tried that?
Not yet, my understanding is that a patch is required to get it
working with 2.6.18. I have that compiled and ready to test, but I
haven't got around to rebooting and trying it. I'll get back to you
tomorrow :)
