Can you try the attached patch?


from the back of the box we have:

---------------------------------------
| eth5 | eth7 |  | eth1 | eth3 |
---------------------------------------
| eth4 | eth6 |  | eth0 | eth2 |
---------------------------------------

I was able to boot 2.6.34-rc1 to a Debian root nfs mounted via eth1.

I didn't verify that eth4 - eth7 worked.
