The error code for the ioctl most probably comes through
e1000_open
-> e1000_up
   -> request_irq

That + (2) + SMP suggests an irq routing issue due to a broken acpi
table ("suggests").

I would compile a (monolithic) recent 2.6.x to see its log and
give a look at http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php (once the
ticket is opened at http://bugzilla.redhat.com of course :o) )
