I am now able to reproduce problems exactly at the same point: If I boot the machine without ethernet cables connected before loading the kernel the machine seems to work fine for a while. If I put for example a crossover cable between the cards I cannot even boot the system! right after the kernel initialization after it starts the init I get IDE errors and then freezes because it cannot run the commands in rc.sysinit. I have to mention I also tried the built-in driver of intel e1000. The 5.2.20 of course it was loaded as a module at network scripts initialization. So the problems trims down to how can those NICs can affect the IDE only when they have cables connected ( even though without the driver initialization they don't have the led link on ) even without traffic going through them.
