There are some things I'd change in your kernel config, for example:

 * You are using both MPACPI and MPBIOS, one of them is enough 
   (same for MPACPI_SCANPCI and MPBIOS_SCANPCI).
 * You are missing some acpi devices, for example npx(4).

Maybe the problem for the onboard ethernet is a conflict between
MPBIOS_SCANPCI and MPACPI_SCANPCI.

Can you try with only MPBIOS* or MPACPI*?
