I am not sure why the tulip driver is being loaded,unloaded,reloaded every time on boot? Anyway, I wanted to check to see if I could generate the above bug on subsequent unloads of the module. I downed the network and the unloaded the tulip module. I did get the message below when unloading the module but no "BUG: atomic counter underflow" message.

Can you please verify this against vanilla 2.6.9 and 2.6.9-mm1 ?

I will verify it against 2.6.9 when I get time. I did verify the "Device was removed without properly calling pci_disable_device(). This may need fixing." message is generated with 2.6.9-rc3-mm3 without preempt patches. Also thanks to Mark Johnson's suggestion I verified that the reason the driver is being loaded twice is because kudzu is loading it once then unloading it.

This does fix this error:
