At some point I absent-mindledly upgraded some package (modutils?) and ended up losing the "io=0x300" option from the line in my /etc/modules that loaded the ne2000 driver. It took me about an hour to figure out because when my machine tried to boot and xdm started, my X server would fail to start, but xdm would keep restarting it (that's what it does), so my screen would be switching between text and graphics modes fairly quickly and scaring me.
When I booted from a rescue disk, it still didn't know what IO port my ethernet card wanted and I got the same problem. I had to boot single user and poke around my system until I figured out what the problem was. I can't really report this as a bug because it was probably my fault for absent-mindedly upgrading.
