Me too. Looks more like acpi or pci problem. Did you try to experiment
with something like: pci=noacpi or acpi=off boot parameters? Probably

should be resonable.
Btw, I add main kernel to cc.

Is this what you mean? I pulled this from the quoted text:
Nov 10 22:45:52 frank kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

Right. This explains the reset at 22:45:52, but not the earlier reset
at 22:24:40. Link never came up after that earlier reset.
Is this a new problem introduced by a new driver? I notice you are
using tg3 3.65. Have you used newer versions or older versions?

This is not a new problem - these cards have done this or something
like it for as long as I've had them*. They work just fine in 100 MBit
mode but not in all of my machines, and in none of them at gig-e.
I've tried every version of the driver since SUSE 9.1 without much
luck (at least as far back as 2.6.9). I'd try a newer driver, esp. if
I could make it compile on 2.6.22.12 (I prefer but do not require to
stay with the stock distro kernel, modules notwithstanding).
NOTE: to avoid list noise, I can make a bug out of this on
bugzilla.kernel.org and we can proceed from there if that is
preferred.
[*] Actually, they worked OK in 2.4.something way-back-when but only
for short durations at gig-e speeds.

Why avoid list noise? These lists are made just for this. But, since
this case needs a lot of space for your configs, maybe a lot of time,
and maybe a bit more people to have a look at this as well, bugzilla
could be very useful.
Of course, like Michael said, it would be better if you could do
at least short test with a version as new as possible.
Regards,
Jarek P.
PS: I've forgot to mention: lspci -vv, cat /proc/interrupts
and maybe the same for these other, working gig-e cards.
I have created bug 9391 on bugzilla.kernel.org containing pretty much
everything.
