I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly. You can make sure if the board is certified at hardware.redhat.com. I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live CD and the dmesg tool as well.
Good luck!

Hi, I am trying to install centos on the intel D945GCLF board. It's a mini-ITX board with the atom processor and it uses the Realtek RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the on-board LAN card it installs and runs OK, but when I enable it, I get kernel panic at boot. The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with the latest kernel) or with Ubuntu server.
My question is: is there some way to run centos on this board (test kernel, i can try for example)?
