I did a little more research and there were cases in the past where e1000e could cause a HW failure so I don't know if this is invalid or not.. It appears that in the 2.6.27 series there were bugs in the e1000e driver which could corrupt its EEPROM. Could this bug have resurfaced? If I go into the BIOS Setup, eth0 will work until the system is shutdown.
