Yes it has 6GB of RAM. I have never tried apic=force as a boot option  
I will try that. I thought the default was for apic to be enabled so I  
have tried it with apic=no.

I have tried ignore_64bit_dma=1 and still get the same issue. I am  
using modprobe ignore_64bit_dma=1 e1000, that is the correct way to  
load it with that option? I have also tried TXDescriptorStep=4 along  
with and without the ignore_64bit_dma option.

I am right now trying to figure out how to get the dmesg.log from  
knoppix whch seems to truncate it. Tushar has asked me for this so I  
have been waiting to post back until I got it when I noticed your reply.

While I'm trying to figure out the dmesg problem what else if anything  
would you need, cat /proc/interrupts or any thing else?

Just a note, I have tried the last three versions of the module all  
with the same results.

I am getting close to just installing a 32bit kernel but all of my  
VM's are 64bit so it would be a huge hassle. :)

Thanks for all the help,

Jon
