Subject: [BUG] 2.6.20-rc4-mm1: Panic in e1000_write_vfta_82543()

I get following panic on 2.6.20-rc4-mm1 on a 2-cpu AMD Opteron system.

Same basic config file seems to work with 2.6.20-rc2-mm1 on this same
system. Have not tried -rc3-mm1 yet.

Attached are config file and "lspci -vv" output. Let me know if you need
more info.
