User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Description of problem:
When I restart the networking on a couple of our machines (Dual EM64T Xeon 3.6Ghz, 4 Broadcom NICs (2 onboard, 2 cards, 2 bonded pairs), IBM x346), the kernel panics and the machine dies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart networking (service network stop ; service network start)
2. Look at local console, see panic output

Actual Results:  The kernel panicked with the following output (manually copied from the console):

Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

Expected Results:  The networking should have stopped and come back up without the kernel panicking.
