eth0 errors reported on boot after improper shutdown

[Jeremy Domingue]

Hey all,

Well, I have a very interesting problem that I'm hoping someone might be
able to give me some insight on. Let me start at the beginning..... we had a
prolonged power outage and one of our servers lost power without a proper
shutdown. When I finally got to a console and repowered the sucker, I had to
do a manual fsck on the drive and it found numerous problems, but all were
"corrected". Now, however, when I try to boot the server, when it gets to
loading the network driver and turning up the ethernet cards, it says "eth0:
card reports no RX buffers." and "eth0: card reports no resources." in what
appears to be an endless loop. I have tried to correct this to no avail. We
have 2 ethernet adapters in the server, and eth1 is fine.... I have tried
powering off and swapping the two cards to see if it's a hardware problem,
but eth0 still does the same thing when I swap the cards. I'm not even sure
where to begin on this one.... any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what dmesg shows on boot:
