Are you sure you bisected right? the bisection log looks healthy so far - with nicely alternating good/bad bisection points. Barring the possibility that the bug is non-deterministic, i'd guess the bisection points are OK, at least judging from their statistical properties. but ... i went over the diffs too, and i fail to see how they could affect the bootup path of an Alpha box, which i suspect has no networking dependency up to the failure point.
