[Foster, ThomasX]

Have you tried 1.7.34 available from the Intel website?

I don't know if this resolves your issue, but its worth a shot

Anybody found a solution for this?


I have the same motherboard, 2GB RAM & 2 2.4 Ghz Xeons. I have the same 
problem. The only way around the em0: issue is to DISABLE APIC in the 
POWER, BIOS menu. Unfortunately this disables the 2nd Xeon processor.
But 
it enables the em0:  I guess we can't have everything. :(

A sample DMESG WITH & WITHOUT APIC ENABLED is attached.
