Presumably this output was produced after the machine had been up for a
while, and you'd tried to bring the network up and perform tests pings,
etc. If that's true, then it looks as if the kernel is screwing up
interrupt routing (note that the interrupt that eth0 is associated with
has been never been raised). It's quite likely that specifying
'acpi=off' (and possibly also 'noapic') with your kernel boot command
will allow the NIC to work--but these options are only a temporary fix.
The permanent fix will likely require a kernel upgrade--what version are
you currently running? ('uname -r' to check)

No, it's not, and unfortunately the information I wanted to see was long
gone. Somewhat unrelated to your NIC problems, I noticed that the dmesg
you provided had two kernel oops messages, both related to APM. This
suggests either a kernel bug, or a problem with your hardware.
