I've now built 2.5.69-mm1 and it gives a very similar oops--and it wasn't 
related to e100; it would oops on the third modprobe!

So, I built a load of my modules into the monolith: leaving just uhci and
e100, and now the first modprobe oopses and the second deadlocks..

However, the trace is a little deeper this time:

Is this helpful?
