James & Paul,
Thank you for your suggestions, I will give them a try.
Paul, it is indeed a SuperMicro with onboard Intel 82574L's. So I will try the kmod-e1000e package as well.
Very grateful for your help to and to this list.
Thanks, PJF

What kind of machine are you running this on? If you have a BIOS check to see if there is an update available for it. Assuming that you have the latest BIOS on the machine try booting with MSI-X disabled and see if it becomes more stable.
I'll second the suggestion for disabling MSI-X and add one: add pcie_aspm=off to your boot-time kernel options.
You wouldn't happen to be running a SuperMicro mainboard with onboard Intel 82574L NICs, would you? If so, I'll also suggest installing the kmod-e1000e package from elrepo.org, which includes a workaround for the bad PROM that's involved.
