I don't believe it is.  MAJOR problem. I have an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe 
motherboard I paid about $275 for in late Sept 2008, and one attempt to boot 
the 2.6.29-rc1 I had built destroyed the MCP55 eth0 port, no power on the 
port at all now, and I've rebooted to 2.6.28, still no eth0, so I have now 
enabled in the bios and am using the 2nd & last eth1 port on this mobo.

dmesg from that boot attempt is attached for forensics.  Please look it over.  
And advise of course if its something I did.

Thanks.
