Subject: 2.6.28-rc2 hates my e1000e

I tried booting -rc2 on my desktop system today.  All seems well until
I try to access the net; eth0 doesn't exist anymore.  dmesg tells me:

Oct 30 17:29:38 bike kernel: e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.3.3.3-k6
Oct 30 17:29:38 bike kernel: e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.
Oct 30 17:29:38 bike kernel: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21

Oct 30 17:29:38 bike kernel: e1000e: probe of 0000:00:19.0 failed with error -16

Here's what lspci thinks of my device:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

	Kernel modules: e1000e

Interestingly, under 2.6.27 it reads thus:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Dell OptiPlex 755
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+

	Latency: 0
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 4350

	Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Count=1/1 Enable+
		Address: 00000000fee0200c  Data: 4181
	Capabilities: [e0] PCIe advanced features <?>
	Kernel driver in use: e1000e

The I/O memory has moved, I have no idea why.  I assume that's a feature?

So...what else can I do to help track this one down?

Thanks,

jon
