Traditionally, timeout messages mean that the IRQ of the ethernet card
is wrong. I seem to remember that the ix driver doesn't auto-probe the
IRQ number, so you will need to either recompile your kernel with the
right IRQ or set it using userconfig (boot -c).

Rod is the IX driver expert, he's CC'd on this reply as I think he's
not on the questions list...
