Sorry, I did make two mistake.
1) I gave you a wrong message.
The correct message is "card reports no RX buffers".
2) pre7-8 also produced the msssage.
So, my case doesn't match your current concern,
I looked into older log of pre7 kernel, and found this messages was
produced in the version not so rarely. this error is not new to pre8.
The following is RX message last night (pre8).
May 19 23:43:47 xeon kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
May 19 23:43:47 xeon kernel: Freeing unused kernel memory: 200k freed

May 19 23:43:52 xeon PAM_pwdb[682]: authentication failure; LOGIN(uid=0) -> \
root for login service
May 19 23:43:53 xeon login[682]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authen\
tication failure
May 19 23:43:55 xeon PAM_pwdb[682]: (login) session opened for user root by \

May 19 23:44:00 xeon kernel: eth2: card reports no RX buffers.
May 19 23:44:25 xeon kernel: eth3: card reports no RX buffers.
The above authentication message shows my login failure with wrong
password. So the RX message happens after I logged in.
In this case eth2,3 complained, this booting was the second try.
I show all eth? related message of the first try.
In the case, eth1,2 complained.
I rebooted by just typing /sbin/reboot command and didn't touch hardware.
I booted pre8 with eepro100 only twice, so the frequency is not known.
But these two boot output two RX messages each.
