My 2-cents worth: If you have 2 identical ethernet cards, they need
to be compiled into the kernel. It's in a howto somewhere;
apparently there are problems making eth1 start up if they're
identical and modular.
FWIW, I've run into some size problems with kernel 2.2.4 this
weekend, being too big to fit a zImage size limit. I had to move
lots of things from compiled-in to modules. I'd seen some reports
of, and run into, problems with a bzImage kernel.
