this is often due to some other adapter card in the system that has option rom or ram that's stomping on the shared memory allocated by your adapter card. For example you might have a SCSI card that has bios at c800 and your system boots off this, but once the system is up this BIOS is unused. Later on when the kernel is loading your card on ed allocated c800 for it's shared ram and now you got 2 devices fighting over the same memory location. I've also seen this happen with bad cabling too. Either way this is a problem that you need to look at. what ethernet card are you using?
