I've been using kexec on 2.6.14 (patched for later--but not
latest--e1000 drivers) and 2.6.18 as-is; have not had any problems w/
e1000 devices coming up.
In any event, patch in the latest e1000 driver from
http://e1000.sourceforge.net on your kernel or try a 2.6.18 kernel.
The only kexec kernel patches used were some fairly old (like over a
year ago) from Vivek

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
