My bad on that one :)

The cards do load but they are never assigned IP addresses.  I assumed that
it was from the errors at startup....
'eth0: Dropping NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature....eth1: Dropping
NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature.'

DHCP is enabled on the network and it assigns addresses fine when I boot up
under the OLD kernel.  On a side note....right now only eth0 has a network
cable plugged in....i am trying to get one of them to work before I try and
tackle both.  Here is the ifconfig and /proc/interrupts output.

Thanks for your help.
