Hariett,
Switching to the 2.4 kernel is not an option as this is a production server.
The machine has a dual Intel PRO/1000 NIC.
The machine usies grub, not lilo, but that doesn't really matter. Not sure if APIC is an issue or not.
Thanks for your help.

Got some solutions myself.
LAG is caused by : NETDEV WATCHDOG eth0 timeout
this is caused bacause of problems with rtl8139 network card in kernel 2.6.x
Solutions :
1.add in lilo.conf : append="noapic"
2.turn apic off in bios
3.if u have 2 rtl8139 cards, then exchange one with some other card type (chipset)
btw. all above was found in various polish forums, but none has worked for me. im switching kernel back to 2.4.22, and will report later .
