    Here is a snippet from dmesg output for a successful kexec e100 boot:

    Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.2.21-k1
    Copyright (c) 2003 Intel Corporation

    e100: selftest OK.
    Freeing alive device c1b23000, eth%d
    e100: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection
    Hardware receive checksums enabled
    cpu cycle saver enabled

    I booted the e100 2.5.68-mm4 kernel twice with kexec, initially from the
    eepro100 version, and once from the e100 version. Both worked OK.
