Try rebooting your machine and appending 'acpi=off' to your regular
LILO/GRUB boot command. If you're not sure how, Google, or tell us what
bootloader you're using. If it works, it'll narrow the problem down
significantly.
It might also help to supply the output of 'cat /proc/interrupts' and a
copy of the full kernel boot log (via dmesg).

Those "NETDEV WATCHDOG" messages the kernel is emitting are a dead
giveaway. The network card (or, actually, the driver) is not okay at
all.
