Subject: kernel panic when loading built-in E1000's driver.

Hi all,

When I run linux kernel ver2.6.10 built by myself, there was a kernel
panic when loading E1000 device driver. (See the details below.)

Then I built E1000 device driver as a loadable module and insmod it in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d, the ethernet device worked well.

I would like to know what the difference is between loadable modules
and built-in drivers to the kernel. Does anyone encounter this kind of
problems?

Thanks!
Dafu
