I found it easier to compile support for the e1000 into a new kernel image and use that for kickstart instead of trying to add the e1000 module into the ramdisk. We've had a few sets of machines with this card. When we purchased our machines, the rev of the card was changing pretty frequently, so we'd have to check for updated e1000 drivers from Intel's website pretty often. Hopefully things are more stable now. -L
