There were a lot of things that were in this kernel that I didn't understand.
If you were really on a 386, I'd doubt that you had PCI. But that's neither
here nor there. 

However, the to ethernet ports look wrong to me. They only differ by the
port. The IRQ and I/O mem are conflicting. That might be causing timeouts.

A good way to check it, go into the kernel configuration (-c at boot) and
disable the ed0.
