Just out of interest have you installed any network cards or other devices
recently or loaded any modules as I have noticed that since I installed a
netgear card I have been having the same (2 mins) problem and its
intermittent. I am pretty sure it is the network card that is causing this
although I have no idea how this could happen or what would cause it.

Question
When I reboot a machine how can I make sure that the modules that are meant
to get loaded get loaded namely natsemi. This is a RH box. When I use

$modprobe natsemi

it fails. Is modprobe the correct tool for the job I have been using insmod
and this works but I think that the lack of dependencies could be causing
problems.
