Ok.

I commented out the request_irq error checking "if" statement
and free_irq in ixgb_main.c and did a "make modules" and then
did insmod of the new .ko and it still appears to reboot
the machine.

I tried both the 2.6.19.2 driver and the current 1.0.126
driver.

So I guess that means it is blowing up before the interrupt
assignment.
