Today's rsync installed via http without undue difficulty. Unfortunately, eth0 did not appear so this rev is both dumb and unconnected.
KDE would not initialize but the window manager with the mouse logo did. It didn't have any audio either.
I've added an IDE drive to this computer to use as a scratch drive for ext4 experiments. It certainly makes booting tricky; sometimes it shows up as the first drive and sometimes as the last.
I added a SoundBlasterLiveValue board to the other day's Rawhide and it does make sound under Gnome. But I could not get the dg33bu integrated sound to work.

If it's e1000, note the removal of e1000 from the rawhide kernel: * Tue Sep 23 2008 Dave Jones davej@redhat.com - Disable E1000E driver until bz 459202 is solved.

Just to be clear in this thread - the affected driver is e1000e. There is a separate e1000 driver which is unaffected and is still enabled.

I don't know what that driver's got to do with the subject, but I have a few bob[0] to chuck around.
I've decided for reasons we needn't go into here that one of my systems should undergo a conversion to opensuse.
Opensuse 11.1 is in beta right now, and I thought to try that as a suitable alternative to rawhide.
There's a note about it: "DO NOT RUN THIS ON SYSTEMS WITH THIS INTEL GIGABIT NIC."[1] It might destroy the card.
Basically, it seems to be any card using that driver.
Although mine is not listed (in my DC7700 the NIC's integrated on the mobo), it does use that driver, so I decided, "Perhaps I won't try that." fwiw Opensuse 11.0 runs fine, and apparently has a running Dom0 XEN.

Could you narrow it down further by booting one of the earlier kernel releases? Given the e1000 bug, probably safest to grab the kernel from F9-updates.
