As I have experienced the same thing, this was the first thing I
did: d'l latest kernel source for 2.2.16, compile kernel, modules
and install the modules, all according to README in the kernel docs.
System boots & runs just fine, the modules are all there (8390,
bsd_comp, ne2k-pci, ppp-deflate). Kmod seems to be working; I made
dos-fs as a module, which gets inserted when I mount a dos-disk.

Nothing even remotely like this appears when booting. Check my
attached bit from syslog...

The Realtek nic is IRQ 9 in the BIOS setup; I just checked.
Thanks!
