The stock 2.1.90 instead says something like:

[This was hand copied from the screen, I don't think I made any serious
errors, but I've only re-checked it by rebooting twice -- this thing has
taken much of today already and without my printer working, and with
no other machines available at the moment, this is rather tedious to
document. On the plus side, I don't really need my ethernet card at
the moment, and 2.1.90 detects my tape drive which is something I'd
never got working on earlier kernels, so maybe I'll be able to make some
real backups for a change...]
Here's a few excerpts from the sorted system map names. EIP appears to
be between check586 and elmc_probe, which strikes me as mildly odd.
[I've left out references to numbers into areas like gcc2_compiled, ...
but I can send you the whole system map and or the kernel if you want it.
I'll hang onto this copy of the build tree till tomorrow night, and the
map/kernel/config info till next friday. This problem is very
reproducible.]

I expect I'll be able to try my next kernel in about half an hour, I'll
try to post a follow-up (either another bug report or a success report),
to give an idea of whether there's more than just the ethernet card
having a problem here.
