Hmm, I think I am running 2.4.22-9mdk on my cooker box with an RTL8139 (PCI or on-board, I forget now since I have changed M/Bs a few times on that box ...) without problems. Have you tested the memory on the machine? Also, RTL8139 on-board cards normally give problems with apic, so you may want to try booting with noapic (but usually this just results in a bad IRQ, not an oops). I have set up a few laptops that have such a chip (or helped owners of such machines), but only with older releases. Have you tried booting the network.img from 9.1? That would help narrow things down, as I have run or helped others run 9.1 on a few such machines.
