I built 2.6.23-git14 this morning - when booted I can not access the
network via my Ethernet connection. Fallback to 2.6.23-git11 works OK.
One interesting message during boot:

What are your network devices? Is your problem with eth0, forcedeth, or as this traceback implies, eth1?

What is eth1? (driver, bus, ...)

Can you bisect?
