With 2.6.17-rc5-mm2 (and other kernels), the e1000 fails to load
sometimes, with the message:
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.0.38-k4-NAPI
Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
e1000: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5
Sometimes it will do this after several modprobe/rmmod cycles, and then
it will load OK. Once loaded, it seems to work perfectly.
This is this built-in e1000 in a Thinkpad X60:

Sorry for the long wait, there's some new information on this that just this
morning arrived.
We received reports from SuSE that on a T60 they were seeing the same problem.
After obtaining a T60 ourselves we managed to spot the suspected problem: it
is related to the "smart power down" capability of the PHY. Lenovo had this
feature turned on in certain BIOS'es which caused the EEPROM reads to fail.
Some people reported that the problem goes away when you plug in a cable -
this guarantees that the PHY is turned on and probably masks the issue for a
lot of people (either you work plugged in or forget about the NIC when you
work wireless, thus not seeing the issue).
The latest EEPROM's from Lenovo (obtainable from their websites as .iso) seem
to have this feature turned off, which resolves the issue.
We're right now working on seeing if we can find a workaround for the issue
ourselves in the driver, but in any case you can always try to grab the latest
BIOS from lenovo's website, and tell us if that works for you.
meanwhile we're working on a more permanent solution.
Cheers,
Auke

Do you have a specific link to this update? I can't see anything
obvious on their site relating to this.
