I don't know the right way to contact the kernel people,
or what they want to know, so
I rely on you to be the relay.

I tested
http://charm.itp.tuwien.ac.at/~mattems/trunk-e1000e-amd64/linux-image-2.6.23-rc9-amd64_2.6.23~rc9-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
and found it to work.

Because I've now got a slightly different partition layout
I re-tested with 2.6.22-2-amd64 from backports.org and got
a kernel panic.  I did not transcribe the messages left on
the console but they looked similar to those in the
original bug report.

Then I did a
ssh foo 'tar -C /srv -cf - bar' | tar -C /srv -xpf -
(as before from the amd64 with the ASUS P5KC box
running the kernel I'm testing.)

I twice transferred about 40G without problems,
so that's success.

I'll continue to use your kernel rather than the one
I built.
