it triggers here:

netconsole: device eth0 not up yet, forcing it
netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier
console [netcon0] enabled

I've uploaded the full log to:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/100hz.2.log

something i noticed: netconsole output seems to trickle through though,
but very, very slowly (a packet once every 4 seconds or so). TCP/IP is
not functional.

also, i'm using netconsole via the command line (both the network driver
and netconsole is built into the bzImage), maybe that makes a
difference?

(if there's any other data you'd like to see, let me know.)
