eth0 errors reported on boot after improper shutdown

[Jeremy Domingue]

Yes, I must have rebooted about 5 or 6 times and it's the same thing every
time... I even powered off and swapped the cards in the PCI slot (so eth0 is
now eth1 and vice-versa), and it still reports the errors for eth0 (which
before the swap was eth1 and worked fine).

So, your cards still do not work OK after several reboots, do they?
That's a bit strange...

The first thing you may do is to try newer driver from
ftp://ftp.sw.com.sg/pub/Linux/people/saw/kernel/
to avoid digging among already solved problems.
